Hi there community,

I am hoping a kind soul might be able to help me. I’m doing some ongoing research into VPN apps and their use in high censorship countries.

My probe has been running for 24 hours but I think I’ll need to wait until tomorrow for my first credit and I’m really keen (inpatient) to see the first results. Was hoping someone could tie me over with 24 hours worth of credits.

Would be very much appreciated. Thanks
