As a general rule, if you're getting a service for free, you're the product.
I don't know much about the downsides of free in the context of VPNs, as I didn't really get in to the technical ins and outs. But when we're talking security and privacy I think the cost of supporting something good and sustainable is well worth it.
I've heard port forwarding is helpful for speed, and that might be a paid only thing, but to be honest I'm consistently surprised by how fast things go for me just using mullvad.
Another thing you may wish to consider: the Proton CEO has praised Trump which is a huge red flag to me in the privacy space.
These resources are really all you need, but they're all individually quite focused so for a new person it can be hard to see the forest.
An overview:
For movies, streaming sites are fine.
To start torrenting safely:
- get a paid vpn (i use mullvad)
- download qbittorrent or the like
- find a public tracker from the megathead, general ones are easy/convenient for starting imo
- virus scan/use common sense/be careful
Absolutely. Where can I watch this
It's what I use and it works well for me. It seemed like the best option when I was researching this recently. Plus the icon is cute.
It works for me... I think it's something like it goes faster with port forwarding but to be honest I don't know the details.
