- colechristensen 6mo agoEh, being a high profile security website, VPNs are where the harassing traffic comes from, and I'm sure there's no lack of it. VPN "security" is a bit of a joke because why would I trust some VPN provider any more than my ISP? Everything is HTTPS these days anyway.
- fwn 6mo ago> [...] why would I trust some VPN provider any more than my ISP [...] Of course, whether or not to use a VPN always depends on the specifics. (threat model, circumstances, VPN provider, etc.) I am with the biggest telecoms provider in Germany, and I trust them about as far as I can throw them. They are known for censoring their DNS servers, being opaque about government requests, and creating artificial bottlenecks to extort money from companies in order to avoid throttling.
