[email protected]Literally insane, just don't move to Russia idiots
Westerners don’t want to admit this, but the only safe VPNs are made by their enemies lol. And this isn’t even “tankie” propaganda. If you were Russian or Chinese it’d be your best interest to use western VPNs. Maybe not American ones unless you want to end up like burned Iranian CIA assets
Kaspersky was at least at one point a resold version of hotspot.
here’s an article that has a lot of details.
Hotspot isn’t exactly in the best situation to be a vpn you’d trust if you were worried about law enforcement.

That’s a good way to evaluate lots of stuff.
One way that kaspersky might not be safe enough for you, if it’s still a rebrand of hotspot which I haven’t confirmed, is that hotspot has offices in states where they can be compelled to install equipment and software to monitor throughput without notifying customers. That’s no big deal for Russians and Syrians because they’re still protected from those states actions by a bunch of layers of international law and whatnot. If you aren’t safe from, for example, the us government because you, for example, live in the us then it might not be the protection appropriate for you and your uses.
It’s one of those circumstances where at the very least a warrant canary would be good, but would also only provide certain assurances and would rely on the users awareness to function.

Kaspersky:
Does this mean I have to browse through them at 10Gbps instead of the typical 100Gbps I get from my ISP? Seems a bit painful
100gbps is insane, I think you must have your numbers wrong. Either way 10gbps is more than adequate for doing anything
Oh lol yeah I meant 100Mbps I was typing that at 4am giga tired
*mega tired
