Not sure if it was just released today, but I got the email update about it just now. I’m pretty excited about this because I mostly just want VPN for web browsing, and the linux app kinda sucks.

    There’s a lot of trust involved when using a VPN. Besides accessing things that are region blocked when you use a VPN you’re basically say “Here VPN company, look at all the connection im making” and you just have to hope they’re not logging anything. They might even tell you they’re not logging anything but how can you really know? And what is their intention is to not log anything but they fuck up and don’t implement that correctly?

      It’s great to be critical, but if at the end you throw up your arms and go without a VPN you’re significantly less private.

      You don’t need to stop every single attack vector - not even browsing on Tails will do that. But to go with a good VPN provider who has a history of not handing over data when subpoenaed is good

        Where can I find that good VPN provider? My ISP is “doing work” and that always makes me realize how vulnerable my household is to spying eyes.

        I’d love to add a VPN to my home router (Opnsense) which continues to give me all the same features, no loss of speed, and complete privacy.

        Ideas?

          Bit late but both Mullvad and Proton are good. Neither work on the router level though; I don’t know of any excellent ones that do off the top of my head
