Can you though? NordVPN for instance comes to $67.5 for the first year and then $120 every year. I know there are cheaper options too, but not that much. Plus they still have to buy the subscription. And then dealing with the hassle of the VPN.
- system33- 3y agoYeah. Mullvad. Actually good too. Something like $5.30/mo (forever). They take literal cash (as one of the options). WireGuard support. They actually do privacy, not just market it. Edited to fix price estimate and clarify it isn’t just for the first year.
- anjel 3y agoI jumped from Nord to Mullvad as soon as my 3 year Nord sub was up. The throughput speed is unquestionably and substantially faster with Mullvad, and they don't force me to change my password every 3 mos like Nord got all righteous about. Mullvad costs a little more, but they're better in every way, including staying out of your way.
- Hbruz0 3y agoDoesn't work quite well for bypassing georestrictions tbh, which is one of the main uses of a VPN
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoI'm happy where I am but if I had to jump, it'd be to Mullvad. I personally wouldn't use Nord for free. 2018 Nord's ties to Tesonet. 2019 Data breach. Repeated rewrites of site to handle false claims allegations. Endless reports of performance issues. I guess each of these things can be minimized with enough explainers but why bother? tesonet ref: https://old.reddit.com/r/VPNTorrents/comments/9adi37/i_investigated_the_nordvpn_ordeal_here_is_what_i/ https://old.reddit.com/r/VPNTorrents/comments/9adi37/i_inves...
- Fnoord 3y agoDon't tunnel all your traffic through a VPN; only the one which can lead to civil court case with anti parency gang.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoI get that. My VPN runs exclusively in a virtual machine. I'll RDP to it when I need to do VPN stuff.
- itscrush 3y agoMullvad? 72$ yearly instead of the price hike with Nord, pretty easy to set and forget an always-on vpn. Are clients that bad these days that hard to miss red/green on/off toggles are the hassle or where's the friction?
- cmiller1 3y ago> Plus they still have to buy the subscription Not necessarily...
- Consultant32452 3y agoPrivate Internet Access is $40/yr. I interpreted the VPN option to imply violating copyright.
- sixothree 3y agoEven less for their annual Black Friday sale
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoThePirateBay uses OVPN. $60/yr. Coupons can lower that a bit. They've been solid and have exits all over the world. ref: https://torrentfreak.com/ovpn-wins-court-battle-after-pirate-bay-data-demands-rejected-200911/ https://torrentfreak.com/ovpn-wins-court-battle-after-pirate...
