- therealmarv 7y agoYep. My assumption is that paid VPNs are basically honeypots for bundling people together who think this is safer. A good target to recognize/attack many VPN users by one entity (the VPS provider as attack vector, see NordVPN). It starts with Netflix and ends with state authorities. If you use a VPS both won't have you immediately as VPN user on the radar. But there is also the question for what reason you do VPN... securing connection or thinking you get more anonymity (VPS is bad at the later one of course)
- shpx 7y agoYou've just put your trust in the VPS provider, you haven't "trusted no one".
