What is the point of paying for a VPN at this point?

Seems like more and more sites and services are blocking access.

I tried Mullvad for a few months and it worked fine but who am I really protecting my privacy from?

Because it's not my ISP's or anyone else's business that I happen to be running a Bitcoin node. Or doing anything else online.

Great point. Not in a position to run a node yet but when I am I would certainly use Mullvad again.

That's the main reason why I use proton VPN on my PC. I have one browser that's routed around the VPN for things like prime video that block VPNs.

I'm just hedging for a possible future tail risk where it becomes the case that you don't want to get caught running a bitcoin node at home.

So do you run a vpn on your router?

Not anymore I've just been using the router the ISP gave me.

Prime video blocks VPNs so my fire TV wouldn't work if I had a VPN on my whole home Internet.

Mullvad doesn't know about your activity. This is proven by police raids.

I’ve heard about this and was the reason I used them.

Even tho I am skeptical about that info.

Either way I’m not shitting on Mullvad in particular, just asking if it’s worth paying for if I’m not running a node.

It is. Unless you want police to knock on your door for suspicious shit posting.

This sounds like FUD.

Would you download a torrent without VPN? I wouldn't.

Haven’t done that since Napster days but yea I get yer point.

Unless you have a seedbox

Wut that?
