Removed

Oh motherfucker PIA is the one I use

Thankfully the main reason I have it is just to steal video games but I’ll make sure that doesn’t renew

Once again plugging ProtonVPN.

$120 a year, god damn. I used PIA because it was $80 for 3 years and because like 10 people can use the same account.

for others switching from PIA,

• kaspersky is about $35 a year ($30 first year, then $45) for 5 devices

• protonvpn $60 a year for 10 devices with the 2 year plan

• Mullvad is $60ish a year for 5 devices (no port forwarding)

• IVPN is $80 a year for 7 devices with 2 yr plan (no port forwarding)

There’s a significant difference between the threat model surrounding vpns that you intend to use for port forwarding torrents and vpns you intend to use to protect yourself from data harvesting/the cops.

Don’t expect one to do both.

I'm sure they still spy on my torrents but this is why I don't use any vendor provided apps or software for VPN shit (or anything else without a very compelling reason tbh), it's practically guaranteed to be adware or spyware

I guess it's time to check if my provider is on this list though

I hate this dystopia

Once again happy with my decision to use Torguard ages ago.

I set up a Wireguard appliance on my VM host a while back but never got around to actually setting my PC up to actually be able to use it or anything

Minecraft, Roblox, GTA.

I dont think anything conspiricy brained me quite as much as what happed to the person who leaked the Panama Papers. Not Epstein, not the Jakarta Method, not that time when the FBI and CIA found out every member of the Trot Org they were infiltrating was an informant...

I got letters over a damn textbook when I was in college. I'll need to switch vpns. I need something with port forwarding ideally.

Any body know of any good ones that use wireguard? I have PIA (didn't do anything I needed to be actually secure on fortunately) since I get amazing performance with wire guard vs openvpn, or least it seems to be a lot less picky when the underlying connection is weird or unreliable.

Also, for anyone who needs to hear it, a VPN alone will not protect you and you shouldn't use both at the same time unless you know what you're doing and the security consequences.
