The VPN provider I use has servers in multiple countries. I was wondering if privacy laws would make it better to VPN to some countries over others when pirating.

Maybe try the smallest country that borders the country that sells Vytautas mineral water?

Spoiler alert: it’s Latvia.

If you are in the US, stick with US servers on a no-log VPN. Crossing the border with your traffic allows agencies to collect way more data.

What no-log VPNs are out there in the U.S.? Anything similar to Mullvad?

PIA is a proven no-logger. They are also fast as hell.

I use PIA’s Canada servers for torrenting because they are (geographically) closest to the US with port forwarding. No issues, been using them for years.

I don’t mean US based, I mean US servers. Mullvad has US servers.

Can’t really comment on 14-eyes, but 100% avoid the US, UK, AU, NZ, and maybe CA based companies. I personally don’t use Mullvad anymore since they stopped supporting port forwarding, but it’s an otherwise great VPN.

I use ProtonVPN’s Secure Core. Their entry nodes are in privacy-friendly countries — Switzerland, Iceland, or Sweden — and exit nodes can be to any of their VPN servers in dozens of countries around the world. It’s a double hop which increases latency slightly, but I don’t real-time game on this configuration.
