@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.

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

@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

[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 ?

[jase@mastodon.art]

@gildilinie @fluffy my few qualms with it honestly is well the company name eVenture, that doesn't sound very inviting nor does it sound inviting all the buzz word best vpn fastest in the world and so on. It seems a decent option besides that if there's good news about them, just I don't like all the buzz words and what a company name
