So which VPN are we switching to?

[catraxx@tech.lgbt]

@gildilinie Well one problem with them is that they have no audits, which i admit is kinda bad because we can really only take their word for it. And also someone said something vague about the quality not being being great, but then others said it's nice.

@gildilinie The Proton thing really shows that just being in Switzerland isn't a security model

[catraxx@tech.lgbt]

@gildilinie Like i said, i dunno, this is not good advice except for the audits.

@gildilinie I'm thinking I'll try ivpn in a couple weeks when my current credits run out. Good luck me I guess.

[gildilinie@beige.party]

@dvshkn someone here said ivpn was doing some terrible shit i just can't find the post again

[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]

@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
