The wonderful @activistchecklist got you covered there:
https://activistchecklist.org/vpn/Not only does it list recommended VPNs and reasons for their recommendation (along with those they don't recommend, and why), but also explains what VPNs are good for, what they are not good for, and why giving VPN advice is so hard.
Clearly a lot of research, care, and thoughtful design went into this.

@rysiek @activistchecklist I'm honestly surprised that #xeovo is not on the list

@rysiek @activistchecklist proton is plagued by the same issues as mullvad, a fascist ceo, why don't they remove that option, i wonder?
not to mention proton *has* in fact handed over customer data and PII to governments in the past, so especially for the activistchecklist it is questionable -

From what I've read, they don't store the data from your browsing history, and I'm pretty sure that has been verified to be true, so they have nothing or very little to hand over to law enforcement. Some VPNs track you to sell your data.

@mattesilver I assume you mean "VPS".
Also, with that you end up with a single exit point in a single country, and the exit IP address is tied to you specifically via your payment.
Not anywhere even close to what is discussed in that link. Giving advice like that will cause people to end up in harm's way.

There is no mention of Nord here that I could see. I wonder what they rated it.

@rysiek What's wrong with Mullvad? It's one of the only VPN companies that takes XMR, has absolutely 0 KYC, and... works. Their Mullvad Browser is genuinely great work, and helped me move off arkenfox.
Mullvad is genuinely doing things right, and I'll continue to reward them with my custom
EDIT: I genuinely couldn't care less what their co-founders political support is, it's shameful to kick a company that's doing so well by online anonymity, privacy, activism

@rysiek This is a great resources, thanks for sharing. Now that Mullvad is out of the equation, I had come to the same conclusion on an alternate.
Alas, I can only regenerate, rather than disable, the advertising ID on my Android build. Will be glancing through the other recommendations to make sure I have everything covered though.

@mattesilver @rysiek @activistchecklist
Yes wireguard is a great option, but if you are in a country like China, Russia or Iran, you should use OpenVPN. Do a search to find out why

@rysiek @activistchecklist Yet again, without fail everything that touches crypto turns to shit.
