There’s way too much hype over VPN Providers, but do not forget, you are routing all your traffic through their servers

As a general advice, if a VPN provider keeps logs of your activity, does not allow you to pay with crypto, and generally spends way too much on youtube ads is probably not an ideal choice.

Do not follow any advice/recommendation blindly, do your own research on which one offers the best service for your own needs.

    They’re disabling port forwarding due to some bad actors… That’s why we can’t have nice things.

    For those who don’t know, port forwarding is mainly used for torrent seeders, aka the people who upload files to other people.

      That’s a shame. I hope it causes more services to be cool with their IP addresses, but it’s unfortunate for toerrenting and running local forwarded servers.
