Quick note regarding affiliate links-many VPN providers do offer those programs, but that doesn't mean all KZitemrs who accept sponsorships participate in the programs. I have accepted sponsorships from Surfshark in the past (I use them mainly to bypass idiotic blackout restrictions for sportsball games), but I don't participate in their referral program because IMO that creates the conflict of interest that causes a greater loss of objectivity. A paid sponsorship is a one-time deal for a video, and I have one or two per month, with no ongoing contracts, but an affiliate program creates perverse incentives IMO. All that said, accepting any paid sponsorships also taints opinions, no matter how pure the 'influencer', so that's why the FCC has pretty strict guidelines on disclosure... which many (most?) don't even follow :P

Depending for what: for criminals (sadly) the best VPN is probably public WiFi (cafes, libraries, trains), for avoiding Netflix regional blockades - most VPNs will do, for businesses - self-setuped openvpn/wireguard, for safer web browsing - keep your OS and browser up to date, don't ignore "invalid certificate" or "this site isn't encrypted" errors. I don't agree that Proton is that better than other similar VPNs, Switzerland isn't the same neutral, privacy-saving country as it used to be, currently in the age of cybercrime no country is.

I use VPN for bypassing network restrictions, like I just spent 5 weeks in the hospital and without a VPN gaming was impossible. Sure could set up one at home but when I'm not home there's no guarantee it won't run into issues I can't resolve remotely if I can't bypass said restrictions in the first place, as well as some networks block specific protocols which would require you to setup multiple ones at home too. Having a 3rd party I can just connect to different servers to and swap between protocols with is just so much easier for this use case.

Honestly, I know Nord had a big issue awhile back where a server was compromised and they didn't let us know for ages. I was using them before that and still use them, partially because I have been too lazy to change and partially because I brought a 3-year sub using a coupon to knock the price down and a cashback thing that meant I paid like $30AUD for 3 years. I know that privacy on the internet does not exist, I just throw some things in there to reduce my surface area, I also use Pihole and unbound. I don't always use a VPN, I don't always use the same browser, I don't always use the same computer, I don't use banking apps or anything like that in public places, I use different fake/randomised names, dob, addresses, on each site I use, and I use a password manager with random different passwords I change monthly. I know this reduces some of my information being shared, but it will only be a drop compared to what they do get.

There are other, obscure reasons to use a VPN. For example I'm on an ISP that frequently changes my public IP-address. This causes disconnects to the MMO I play. In fact it causes 5 minute downtime, possibly for security reasons as the game servers see it. A VPN can give you a more stable public IP than some ISPs, working around such problems.
@fredeso7844
5 ай бұрын
doesnotcompute6078You're right that the IP _usually_ stays the same. However, how is that helpful? DId I not establish that my ISP frequently changes IP in the first sentence? My post was for people in a similar situation, not for you. For reasons beyond my control I am on 4G+. I currently have no access to a landline. And, tbh, 4G+ is absolutely fine for my purposes, except for this one problem. Even the pricing is fair. However, for a time, my ISP used some sort of load balancing where there was no public IP-address at all. Every single (TCP) connection was using a different public IP from a pool of addresses in a certain range. This denied access to the particulat game I play entirely without one of the above workarounds. My ISP has stopped doing that as of late, but still changes the IP-address quite frequently. Could you pay for a static IP? Possibly. Could you just pay Mullvad or Proton instead? You got to admit that also is an option.

Ive been a huge supporter of Mullvad for many years and I love the direction they are going. Diskless servers is a super nice peace of mind. Their transparency is second to none. I recently looked into IVPN again, and you can tell they are inspired by Mullvad for sure (Actually not sure who came first or did it first, i could be wrong). The same level of transparency, public audits etc... If I had to complain about IVPN it would be that they dont list what servers they rent/own like what Mullvad does. But thats just me grasping at straws and wouldnt really consider that a "complaint" at all, let alone a deal breaker.

I think Nord VPN company bought out Atlas VPN, since as a member, they forced us to transfer the account to Nord VPN.

a trustworthy vpn provider, like proton, is good not only to hide your traffic from you local ISP, but it does a malware barrier, dns leak prevention, blocks trackers, and takes the responsibility for root certificates

Mullvad is from Sweden. However Sweden is part of fourteen eyes surveillance. They have strict log policy but still is. They also have privacy focused browser in collaboration with Tor project.

I've been a subscriber to PIA for something like 12yrs and can't say I've ever had any concerns re: logs or data being sold. You say PIA is owned by a conglomerate which also owns two others, but this doesn't imply foul play, nor shared development; PIA only sold itself to Kape a few years ago. That said, I may well switch to Proton, having seen this, although this is mostly because I'm a little miffed with PIA's server performance in some countries.

all well and good, but if a VPN isn't the answer to some small amount of privacy, instead of bashing everyone, why not suggest a solution?

I have an L2TP vpn set up at home running from a synology NAS. I use it to remote into my PCs from anywhere. I also use it for browsing the web sometimes, but i dont necessarily switch it on for that purpose. I kind of understand the benefits of tunnelling and my device behaving like it was on another LAN, but cant this fact also compromise all my devices at home if someone attacked the client device? I imagine my client device would still be visible on a public network.

I'm curious why you rate nord worse then Tunnelbear. Tunnelbear is in a 5 eyes country while nord is in Lithuania. Is a conglomerate automatically worse then a small company? You could argue that a conglomerate has a bigger legal team and more money for potential legal battles like how apple never wanted to give data to the fbi and went to court over it

Because Nord is known for really bad practices and idk about Lithuania but doesn't sound like a country with amazing privacy laws. Now this might be true as well for TunnelBear but from all the videos of VPNs, tunnelbear is one I had forgotten it existed since many months or years ago, until now Chris mentioned it lol. I don't see it anywhere.

Pretty spot on. Although I think Proton edges out Mulvad in regards to split tunneling by app setup. I have used them both in the past.
