Yeah, I mean... If we're talking about state actors, my opinion is you're cooked regardless. With secure core on proton, I'm hopping through Switzerland to Portugal, and it's random each time I connect, and only in privacy friendly countries.
Short of Mullvad, I'm not sure you can do any better, and that's assuming the recent news about Mullvad isn't some sort of psyop.
It's all about being more expensive than you're worth.
Which counties are best to use w vpn ?
Switzerland, Iceland, Quebec. Several others. You want countries that don't usually respond to American subpoenas. Quebec has a long history of telling authorities to go f themselves, but I'd prolly look elsewhere.
I think MullvadVPN has a really good firewall. It really can prevent anything at all from leaking. I can have it so that my devices won't connect without it. Great service with lots of experience.
You're 💯 about ProtonVPN.
Express sold out I hear. Best stay away from them? Mullvad & proton both favoured options?
I've never tried Express but I think it's hosted in the USA and having a VPN infrastructure there means that they can be subpoena'd - Meaning data can be demanded from them without informing the users. So I don't know if they sold out. Maybe they had no choice but to hand customer data over.
Quebec? Interesting. Cause Quebec still part Canada, not separate, so still under Canadian law. And Canadian law / privacy shiiiii .. cause 👀’s
Proton has the kill switch but it doesn't work on all platforms. That is definitely a negative.
All about threat profiles. I will almost certainly patronize Mullvad at some point. But proton I already had for the email, which balances ease of use (great UI) with at least having PGP integrated.
I'm not under any illusions that the state can't see what I'm doing though. I'm mostly just trying to stay anon to the random asshole. 🤣
🤣🤣 touché 👏
Iceland, Switzerland I think
Mullvad is probably the best vpn. They do not want your name, email, phone.. nothing. They dont want to know and will tale crypto so you dont have to use a credit card.
TOR is the absolute safest but it can be slow. All encrypted.
