Currently on ProtonVPN, and seems to be OK so far. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Uebercomplicated@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago Proton, mullvad, air VPN, depending on threat case. NordVPN for torrenting specifically, but not as good for privacy etc. The most important thing is to check who owns the VPN (as the previous commentor said, stay away from Kape tech) and where it's based (e.g., 14 eyes), as well as independent security audits and the company's public history with government requests. permalink fedilink source parent [–] im_fine_sandy@nord.pub 2 points 1 month ago I recently switched to windscribe.
