Riseup offers Personal VPN service for censorship circumvention, location anonymization and traffic encryption. To make this possible, it sends all your internet traffic through an encrypted connection to riseup.net, where it then goes out onto the public internet.

Unlike most other VPN providers, Riseup does not log your IP address.

It's free and easy to install and use. No logins etc, and you get to choose an end-point.

RIseup offers other privacy-focused services.

There are other VPN's out there. You gotta shop around.
