   Just rewatched that scene (happens at around 1:16:00). The first time I watched that scene in particular I had to pause it because I was flabbergasted that they were so clearly breaking the fourth wall. After the... unfortunate opening scen

    I've heard most (if not all) VPNs log information in order to maintain a profit, even when they say otherwise, and for this reason it's safer to not use a VPN. Not sure if that's true or not but it's definitely something

    This is great and all until you (like me) need to be able to differentiate www.example.com from example.com and https:// example.com versus http:// example.com. My website doesn't forward example.com to www.exam
