Just wanted to say a 'thank you' to all people who bear with my privacy stuffs! I know quite some people who installed messaging apps, signed up to privacy services and so on, solely because --> I <-- want to communicate in private and I realise (I've always realized that though) that that can be tough sometimes.

Also a thank you to those people for not requiring me to get data fed into the big companies :).

Thanks!

I recently looked at some vpn providers. Which one do you use?

@Jifuna I use RA4W VPN. I do NOT recommend it as I read some new information about it yesterday and fuck I am scared to use it now. But anyways, I recommend NordVPN and of course, AirVPN! I love PrivateInternetAccess (PIA) as well but it's US based so yah :/

@linuxxx okay thx!

@theNSA just ++'d this rant. 😰

I was thinking about trying out Nord recently but I suppose I probably should've thought to ask you for a recommendation as well @linuxxx 😅....@theNSA 👻 woah I'm shook.

@KidLaser I don't know everything about it but yeah I've done quite some research! No hurt feelings though :P

@linuxxx I haven't paid for anything yet so I'm glad this rant exists haha.

@KidLaser I can recommend NordVPN a lot, unless there's some new incriminating evidence but haven't seen any yet :)

@wolt I use openvpn quite frequently but still need something dedicated and trustworthy ya'know?

@wolt I also have that, just use a combination because with torrenting they could request the payment information from the VPS provider aaaaaand then I'd be fucked.

@linuxxx haha same :P

@Jifuna this is a long shot but you can set up your own vpn at scaleway if you wanna fiddle around with that

@theNSA It's been known (literally, look at their terms of service) that Opera is owned by a chinese company and that they record/log a lot through that VPN service

@Jifuna i use protonVPN and am happy with it so far. Don't see impact on speed, which was a concern of mine.

@QueenMorgana Which plan are you using at ProtonVPN?

@Naptic i think the highest one thinking i was going to use mail, but i haven't set that up yet. I have it on my phone and my mom's phone and desktop, too.

@lumi Switzerland has approved a big ass surveillance law I thought

@linuxxx be careful With nord payments.

After that I disabled the renew
Paymentwall sent to me the payment reminder. That shouldn't happen.

And I solved the problem only after 10 "useless" emails to nord & payment wall.

Saying "useless" i mean emails like:

Nord: I can't see any payment from you

Me: how can this be possibile? Here my recipe.

Nord: your renew is disabled you shouldn't recive any reminder.

Me: yes I know, but I received one.

Etc.............
------
Nord support is really fast to respond but is not very helpful.

I use PIA and live in the U.K.

Is PIA the devil?

OVPN. Look into their services and actions. Located in sweden. Servers operate without hard drives. Premium price for premium quality.

What do you all think of https://www.expressvpn.com?

@SSDD They're highly respectable and I love them tbh but they're US located which means they'd have to comply with any fucked up US govt monitoring etc request

@lumi Yup Switzerland is going the same bad way :/

@lumi xD. Take a look at NordVPN maybe?
