How is this not the top comment?
Nobody should be using a VPN provider, full-stop. It is structurally impossible for anyone to verify their claims, they have more incentive to lie than your ISP does, and they're cheap and easy to set up, so the industry is a cesspool.
You should assume that all of them are behaving badly.

- fireattack 7y agoPlenty of people using VPN for: pirating, get an IP from a foreign country to bypass some content limitation etc., so they still need one, secure or not.

I know while Mullvad hasn't been audited to verify their no log claims, they have at least been audited to verify the security of their app. https://blog.cloudflare.com/1111-warp-better-vpn/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/1111-warp-better-vpn/ "1.

- Dylan16807 7y ago> they have more incentive to lie than your ISP does A lot of ISPs openly collect user data, so I don't know how much that factor matters. And while I can go get a VPN, I can't just get another ISP.
- dx034 7y agoShouldn't matter to your average torrent user or someone who wants to watch US YouTube. And I guess that's most people who actually use it.
