Is ProtonVPN worth it?
Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven’t gotten into proper #piracy is that I don’t have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don’t have a VPN is that I don’t #torrent. So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while #degoogling myself.
Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don’t hide what you’re downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don’t fully understand.
I’ve had ipvanish, proton, and now on expressvpn. Express is my favorite so far but it is expensive. You should look into mullvad vpn.
@starlord2014 wish Mullvad had an email service lol. I have looked into them previously and they do seem like the most trustworthy overall.
But then i get to the checkout and have a moment where I think “why am I doing this? I don’t torrent!” And then I never go through with it, which means I don’t get into torrenting, etc. And the cycle goes on
There are reasons to use a VPN other than torrenting. It prevents your local ISP from selling your traffic data to advertisement companies. It prevents companies from giving you different prices based on your geographic location. It prevents search engines from keeping a log of everything you search for, as long as you don’t log in. It allows your ephemeral internet usage to really be ephemeral. It prevents local ISP, and country censorship. It prevents geoblocking for voice services.
It’s good data hygiene.
