My subrsiption with surfshark is ending soon and I was wondering if there was something better around the same price. There are a lot of ads about many VPNs but a lot of them don’t look so “safe and private” as they want you to think so it’s hard to really figure it out. I don’t want to spend too much since I don’t use them very often but I kinda like the “change catalog of netflix” thing and to be safe while doing some “”“”“”“shady”“”“”" stuff
VPNs are for “illegal stuff.” Namely piracy. That and monotoring of your digital things can be done in connection with real world “crimes” like drug use or activism, see: that aforementioned French activist. :upsidedownface:
That may be, but the only confirmation I have of this is your assumption, which is hardly confirmation at all, unless you own Proton.
True, though word of mouth has to come from somewhere, and I’d rather trust a guy with a legit article (hopefully one that says “IVPN servers raided, nothing found”) than “GeekFeed’s top 10 ‘no log’ VPNs 2023 1. Nord 2. ExpressVPN ad that looks like it’ll give me CyberGonorrhea 3. Proton…” Those podcast ad VPNs may be fine to trust for a shaver or some undies but I’m not using my VPN to watch Japanese Netflix, I’m sharing copywritten material in a country that frowns upon such actions.
You may just luck into the sale though, because they may be the one I trust most out of my 2-3 whole options all said and done. I’ll make sure to pass on your u-name so you get commission if I do. Like I said though I may just go VPS once I really look into all that, I’m sick of these companies’ bullshit.
A VPN service isn’t for illegal stuff. It can be used that way but for me its usefulness is in providing a layer of privacy between me, my ISP and online services I use.
