I know it’s not recommended to use a free VPN provider and that they’re based in the US. However based on Lavabit’s history and that the VPN requires no signup or personal information I’m curious how this community interprets this utility.

No reason to use it based on the ones you gave. ProtonVPN has a free tier but the other recommended VPNs (Mullvad, IVPN) are just $5/mo
Currently the app doesn’t have a lot of the functionality I require like split tunneling but I have great respect for Lavabit seeing as they were one of/if not the first encrypted email service to arrive and decided to close shop rather than divulge keys to the gov when requested. Plus they are currently working on a new encrypted email protocol which I would like to utilise when available.
I won’t be using Proton as they seem to follow Apple’s premium pricing philosophy and require account creation. Mullvad is more respecting of privacy via not needing an account but the only anonymous way I see of paying for their service is by sending cash to them via post which isn’t very economical.
