        As he said, paid with crypto and managed with his own keys. I don’t see how the seedbox provider can trace you if you do that, so there’s not that much to worry about

          You’re going to connect to the seedbox at some point, which ties your IP to the traffic. If you are worried about a VPN attaching your IP to traffic, this is no different, no?

            SFTP over TOR. This should be a requirement at this point.

            If you’re not doing that, then yes you’re technically right in that seedbox companies can be subpoenaed too. I usually use TOR to copy over what little I torrent.

      What evidence do you have that no-log VPNs are compromised by the NSA? What about VPNs based in other countries like Canada?

          Is your home machine, your phone, better protected than the VPN servers? I bet you’re not as good at IT security as the IT security staff VPN companies hire

          If your threat model includes nation state actors, you’re best off not using networked computers

            I am all about good tinfoil but some of these people acting as if they are SNOWDEN lol

            Yes if feds wanted to catch you shitposting, watching big titied asian porn and downloading coldplay… I think there raised ways than compromising a VPN provider.

            Unless it is a honey pot, then use a different VPN provider. Gonna need trust at the end of the day.

          The existence of the NSA and their activities is not proof that they have backdoors in VPNs. That’s bogeyman conspiracy theory shit—“they could be anywhere, therefore they’re everywhere!”

          You still haven’t answered the question, and I’m beginning to think you are making shit up based on paranoia.
