After reading about some #vpn providers I feel that none of them are really trustworthy. For every positive review you find the are two negative ones. It is hard to prove if it is real or not.
Many negative reviews talk about privacy problems (which is the core of such service) and give me the feeling as if it was sponsored by a competitor. Very shady. It feels add using a VPN would reduce my privacy, not enhance it.
@pkimpton well I was also thinking about proton but then I found this article https://steigerlegal.ch/2019/05/23/protonmail-real-time-surveillance/
Now I found MullvadVPN which also sounds good first... I am not sure if I need a VPN at all... You just shift from "trust your ISP" to "trust the VPN-provider".
Is it really more secure?!
Why don't you want the librem.one tunnel?
@rakor that Proton issue is false and is bs.
@pkimpton that's what I mean ... I don't know what can be trusted when reading all those reviews
@rakor personally I'd go by the actual source such as Proton. Because just like movies critics and reviewers aren't going to be 100% factual. They'll be biased. But also the companies too can be that way. Personally I've never had an issue with ExpressVPN. And haven't any issues trying out ProtonVPN. I hit torrents quite a bit. Never had an issue using a VPN, etc.
@pkimpton well I think I'll give PIA a try. Do have have any concerns about PIA?
@rakor Private Internet. They seem pretty decent. Haven't used them before but looking through the info, etc seems pretty solid.
@rakor I'm phasing out my ExpressVPN service in October/November and moving to ProtonVPN figure my email is through them too and it's cheaper in the long-run.
