I just stumbled onto Speedify a few minutes before I noticed this article surprisingly. I wanted to try it but unfortunately it doesn't take crypto and has no free trial

That's a shame. They used to have a free trial with a data cap which I used intermittently while traveling for years before converting to a paying customer a year ago.

Maybe they looked at their numbers amd couldn't didn't see the free tier paying for itself in conversions, but it did convert me.

We still have the 2GB per month free tier with no registration. It's available everywhere but Linux... unfortunately, without us doing anything really creepy (which we won't do), it was just too common for Linux users to trick us into endlessly starting the 2GB over. I think there was a script for automating it making the rounds on some sites.

Huh, I looked but didn't see anything on your pricing pages about the free tier, just the 30 day free trial.

Oh, yeah, sorry, I guess that's not so clear. Just install, and you start on the free tier.

Does Speedify have any plans to support FreeBSD? It's still used pretty heavily over Linux in the router space.
