What if all of the VPN providers are secretly run by government entities and instead of helping to secure our data, we are just dropping it all into a funnel directly to them?

And paying for it too 😳
My VPN provider should be using that government cash to make my speeds better then 😤
VPNs dont stop governments from collecting data. They have other ways. Its for preventing your ISP (or public access point acting as such) from being able to know what resources you are accessing to reduce data harvest sale. Also avoid DNS leaks, and cookie and browser fingerprinting.
I bet the government is sad they didn’t invent Google or Facebook…or maybe they did 🤔😅
That’s why you spinup your own VPN endpoint. Why would you trust yet another third party? 🐶🐾🤷♂️
Was wondering this…

I use VMs in QubesOS with a mix of VPNs & random data for that reason :-)
Could do an online paranoia workshop if there is real interest

i run mine on my nip5 and gitea hosting VPS. i don't like standard VPNs because they inevitably end up being fucked up connections due to dumbass spamfiltering systems. I still have hassles because of geofencing but that's not so bad mostly.
