Hello, all
I’m sorry if there is an FAQ somewhere. My VPN is about enter it’s yearly billing cycle and I thought I would come over here and see if anyone had a better suggestion. I’ve been using IPvanish for the last 10 years and have been pretty satisfied. I picked it by going into the darkweb and seeing what the criminals recommended to each other.
If anyone has other suggestions or tales before I renew, I would love to check it out.
Mullvad and IVPN You don’t need to give any data, not even email address
Tailscale Mullvad combo
Firefox VPN is cheaper isn’t it, and funds the Firefox nonprofit?

Refer this page for better understanding about vpns and to know about good providers in market.
Windscribe is also good which is the same company own controld.
IVPN, Mullvad, or Proton. Criminals aren’t necessarily smart, I remember a ghost phone that criminals thought were secure and it was a honeypot. Shoulda used Graphene for free.
encrochat?
ANOM?
Mullvad, and if you need port forwarding like @ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com said protonvpn is decent too. Proton executives have had some controversial statements supporting trump though making me wary of them
https://nym.com/ is great.
Mullvad.
FWIW I am not enjoying the Proton app experience. I can’t favorite servers so I have to manually search and connect to the location I want each time.
I enjoyed mozilla vpn until a few months ago - seemed like every site in the world had their ips blocked; ended up rolling my own on a cheap vps.
How does the price of a vps compare to any other vpn. Surely this isnt as private?
I purchased a lowend vps for $15 USD a year. Correct, it is not as private - due to the singular ip; however, for my needs it works quite well.
Would you be willing to share which one can be had for that cheap?
Sure! https://softshellweb.com/shared-hosting looks like it’s $20 USD a year without a promotion/coupon. I bought a holiday special if memory serves me correct.
If you can live without port forwarding, mullvad is another great option.
OVPN is a 1-to-1 feature clone of mullvad (wireguard, multiple device keys, crypto payments/cash in the mail, no usernames/emails, etc.) AND has port forwarding. Switched to them when mullvad sadly closed their ports, no problems since. Can’t live without port forwarding.
+1 for OVPN. I switched to them from Mullvad for the same reason. They are also one of the more trustworthy VPNs in my book ever since they actually won a court case proving that they actually practise what they advertise.
It’s what I use and it works well for me. It seemed like the best option when I was researching this recently. Plus the icon is cute.
It’s all around goat unless you torrent maniac… You can still torrent without port forwarding, just not at high speeds
Don’t know if Tor proxy front ends like Orbot or Carburetor count as a VPNs. If so, I highly recommend them.
Top 3 for me are IVPN, Proton VPN and Mullvad.
I personally use Proton VPN because it has lot’s of servers to choose from.
I suggest using https://www.techlore.tech/vpn to compare VPNs and see which one has the features you want.
Windscribe or Mullvad. I personally use Windscribe and it has some really good features and so far they have a really good reputation in privacy circles.
Airvpn is perfect for my needs (torrenting)
Proton or mulvad
