I almost bought into it at first but I had no money when I was into that shit
They’re still useful for torrenting or getting around content blocks but I guess the good part of being in a third world country is I can torrent all I want without one and I haven’t had the need to use the second one.
And I mean, in theory they’re good for privacy but you have to trust the VPN company, and I think it should be apparent that trusting one of these ain’t the best move. Not to mention that just using a VPN and not changing anything else won’t yield decent results for that. Privacy on the web is very hard to do right cuz it’s so complex and spans so many things.
I use Windscribe and I couldn’t be happier, they actually spend money on their software instead of YouTube sponsorships. And they actually talked extensive shit about this whole Kape Technologies situation recently, so if I had to pick one I trusted, Windscribe is it.
Mullvad is good from what I know. ctrl + f the next line to get to the point of this article
Mullvad is a secure VPN
If you need a free one, I think ProtonVPN is good but it’s speeds are probably slow and you only get a few servers.
ProtonVPN should still be good - its run by the same people behind the privacy-focused ProtonMail, and is built to be as absurdly secure as possible.
Bought a 24-month subscription back in January during a sale and they haven’t let me down yet. Also haven’t heard anything shady about them, despite of them spending money on YouTube sponsorships (cough NordVPN cough).
Seconding Mullvad. Cheap, simple, reliable.
Thirding (?) Mullvad. I love the variety of payment available.
But Woolie already shaved my balls twice this month! I don’t need a third slicy-slice!
NordVPN has always served me just fine.
A guy broke into their place and had unfettered access to their systems.
…
But he couldn’t get anything, because there literally wasn’t any.
yea um this comment is utter nonsense. Literally every company and service pays to be advertised. Guess they are all scams now? Every single one of them?
Good thing large corporations have never been suicidally self-destructive in the pursuit of more profits…nope…never…not at all…
I find them useful for pirating movies my parents want to watch without getting their ISP up their asses.
I wonder how many people use these VPN for “secure browsing” as they use their devices with location turned on, signed into their google accounts, with sync enabled and whatever else
It always seemed no different functionally then when I would use proxy sites so I could play flash games during school.
That’s not true.
Plenty of the big-name VPNs have been tested in court and were able to keep people’s internet history actually hidden from governments/law enforcement. So they do work in a privacy sense.
My internet service provider blocks a certain cat site, and I need a VPN enabled for the site to load.
Yeah, that’s a problem with TOR browsing as well.
Didn’t ProtonMail give up some dude’s info in Europe recently?
shaved my balls twice this month!
