So what’s a good VPN these days? Torrent support not needed, just want a little privacy.
I use Mullvad. The map says its only relationship is a sisterhood with Firefox VPN (they use the same servers, but different software).
Mullvad is looking pretty good. You can even sign up for them through FirefoxVPN and then you’re also supporting Mozilla.
Surfshark worked well for me for a long time. Lots of servers, works well for unlocking region blocked content and it’s pretty cheap. If you’re into full privacy, I recently moved to AirVPN who accept payment through crypto, so you don’t have to hand over user data except for an email (which doesn’t have to be a real one, you can delete it later).
Torrenting is one thing but I wouldn’t be trusting a VPN to protect from anything to attract the heat of the law or government.
Why do you keep linking to ycombinator and not the actual article?
hackernews has some good discussions and the source is right there. I see it as a bonus, if it was reddit I would feel differently.

A lot of people use EVPN, they should know:

Private Internet Access also out
Proton responded to the Tesonet thing when that was a big issue, can’t remember what was said but I was satisfied enough with their response to continue using them
Update: Thanks to @JoyfulCodingGuy@lemmy.ml below for clearing up the Proton confusion. I’m glad they can still be trusted.
Original message: Proton being out is devastating. Why does everything go to shit?
Greed.
Follow me for more obvious answers.
