So which VPN are we switching to?

[dvshkn@social.treehouse.systems]

@gildilinie ok I'll look around, I'm prepared to be disappointed at this point

[gildilinie@beige.party]

@dvshkn if you find it please link me to it

@gildilinie We're going to come full circle back to the late 1990s when you happened to have a trusted friend somewhere remote and they gave you a shell account on a PC they were running under their desk at their university job.

[lunadragofelis@void.lgbt]

@gildilinie I've heard of Riseup VPN which is ran by a leftist nonprofit

[guillotine_jones@beige.party]

@gildilinie
I'm currently using Surfshark VPN.
What terrible things have they done that I don't yet know about?

@Guillotine_Jones @gildilinie fyi https://kumu.io/Windscribe/vpn-relationships#vpn-company-relationships/surfshark

[gildilinie@beige.party]

@Guillotine_Jones they merged with nordvpn, owned by a SEO/marketing company https://embed.kumu.io/9ced55e897e74fd807be51990b26b415#vpn-company-relationships/surfshark

[patterfloof@meow.social]

@gildilinie sticking openvpn on a cheap disposable VPS is starting to sound like a good idea

[gildilinie@beige.party]

@Guillotine_Jones let me update my op

[gildilinie@beige.party]

@patterfloof that seems to be basically what njalla provides as well. However, it's not what I'm looking for as I'd like to be able to country hop

[gildilinie@beige.party]

@dvshkn found it: https://mastodon.art/@jase/116830652868816205

[gildilinie@beige.party]

@sharpcheddargoblin under a "sonic the hedgehog framework" proton seems the best

[gatrnerd@blimps.xyz]

@gildilinie So there are basically no VPNs. cool cool cool cool

[alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work]

@robinsyl @gildilinie they ain't even in switzerland anymore i believe

[gildilinie@beige.party]

@gatrnerd there's a bunch where we just don't really have much info on

[thing@thegayagenda.fans]

@alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work @gildilinie@beige.party @robinsyl@meow.social yeah, they arent, after a bill switzerland passed which allowed surveillance or smth similar

[guillotine_jones@beige.party]

@duxsco @gildilinie
Thank YOU, David, for providing this extremely revealing link to VPN provider relationships.

[gildilinie@beige.party]

@dvshkn i think hide.me, airvpn, and obscura could still be in the running

[gildilinie@beige.party]

@dvshkn will be interesting to see if/how they respond to the latest revelations

[gildilinie@beige.party]

@fluffy you like hide.me ?
