It's as if everyone here suddenly forgot all free VPNs are honeypots.
- 14 7y agoDo you have a VPN you do recommend?
- bemeurer 7y agoNot OP, but I've used Mullvad for a couple years and have 0 complaints.
- voidwtf 7y agoI'll second Mullvad. Their interface is dead simple and the list of supported platforms/protocols is great. Quite permissive with 5 connections and port forwarding options. They actually detail how they attempt to never log the payment -> account link for most payment methods on their site. The account has no authentication, it's just an account number with no other identifying information. They also list all their servers so you can modify your config to have any combination of servers/locations to use and fall back to.
- dan1234 7y agoGet a cheap VPS and setup one yourself. There are plenty of guides, especially for the big VPS providers like DigitalOcean.
- bradknowles 7y agoSee https://thatoneprivacysite.net/ https://thatoneprivacysite.net/
- bjoli 7y agoMullvad just got wireguard through the official client on Linux and OSX. Works like a charm. I pay by cash, so they don't have my payment info.
- badrabbit 7y agoAnd free software comes with backdoor? You're right in thst the reputation is mostly accurate but there are a few that offer a free and a paid tier (protonvpn for example)
- AtmaBhava 7y agoThe biggest honeypots are the paid VPNs.... They have your payment information, identity, and everything all linked to that VPN config. Don't be fooled by the standard cliche around free VPNs. Some free VPNs are bad, but to say that because a VPN is paid it is legit is just wrong.
- jsilence 7y agoYou can send Mullvad.net an envelope with cash for an anonymous VPN account. Just make sure to wear gloves when sealing the envelope. ;-)
- kartoffelwaffel 7y agoAlso, a lot of providers accept cryptocurrency, which is trivial to anonymise.
