Freelan vs. NordVPN vs. Riseup Comparison Chart

Freelan is a free, open-source, multi-platform, peer-to-peer VPN software that abstracts a LAN over the Internet. It works on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX. Whether you want to connect the computers of your family, play an old LAN-only game with your friends, or give privileged access to your private network to your collaborators, freelan will do the job perfectly. Freelan is open-source and completely free. You know everything about its internals and its source code. You are in complete control of the software and your data. You, and nobody else. Freelan allows you to create any kind of network topology you like: from the classical clients-server schema, to the completely crazy hybrid peer-to-peer decentralized graph. It uses only standard, well-established cryptographic algorithms and makes sure that your communications are completely opaque to the outside world. Freelan is written in robust, low-level C and C++ code. It has been thoroughly tested for both stability and performance.

The Riseup Collective is an autonomous body based in Seattle with collective members world wide. Our purpose is to aid in the creation of a free society, a world with freedom from want and freedom of expression, a world without oppression or hierarchy, where power is shared equally. We do this by providing communication and computer resources to allies engaged in struggles against capitalism and other forms of oppression. Riseup provides online communication tools for people and groups working on liberatory social change. We are a project to create democratic alternatives and practice self-determination by controlling our own secure means of communications. We provide mailing lists for activist organizations.
