Do VPNs offer good browsing privacy, or are they full of shit?
Do VPN services actually work?

they offer good privacy, they're not full of shit. They tell you straight up that if the FBI comes at them because you are distributing child porn or hacking the Pentagon they're going to give you the fuck up.

my HMA Pro VPN sub just ran out, the question is do I stick with it or is their something that Jow Forums would recommend?
I liked HMA but turning it off everytime I wanted to post on Jow Forums was fucking annoying

Host your own public VPN, share it and use it yourself. If the FBI comes tell them it was somebody else using your VPN.
Anthony Wood
They will investigate and when they see nobody used it then they're going to know he's bullshitting and charge him anyways.

Depends on what you're trying to hide. It does the job if you're trying to hide your real IP while torrenting and stuff like that. But don't expect to be able to be get away with doing shit like said.

A good VPN you can 100% trust. *DOES NOT LOG* and owns their own servers (not leased public servers or VPN from companies that will allow logging/access to 3rd parties) is the best privacy tool you can have. However most are not.
A bad VPN is logging, is selling your usage data, will provide access to 3rd parties about your internet usage, and is probably less private and secure than just connecting directly with your ISP.
Using VPN is going power and trust to that service not to be monitoring your and not to cooperate with anyone who asks for your usage.
People are really stupid when it comes to VPN's. Do your homework before you start using one.

Can't you just tell him the name of the exact VPN he needs to use?. What you just posted is like common sense type shit that he probably already knows.
Christian Butler
Probably the most secure, however you would have to own your own servers, or the provider will just give up the connection logs to the FBI and you're still fucked. If you owned your own server and did not log, and have many users you could obfuscate your own use, but you would still have to be prepared to be liable if the law cam knocking.
Public VPNs are absolutely going to give users up if there is any problems. Logs are the biggest concern.
Depends how seriously you take your own privacy though.

uhhhhhhhhhhh if the fbi knows you're distributing child porn then it means you're not using a proxy, dumb idiot.
Anthony Young
Op, I'm not going to recommend any specific supplier but do use this list and find out yourself which VPN is worth your time and privacy.
Juan Perry
lol. I knew you were going to come back with that "spoonfeeding" shit, but really caught me off guard with the picture.

If they don't log your shit then there's nothing the feds can do ;)

gee, I wonder what the "we don't log" VPN pajeet says to that offer...

Host your own OpenVPN server. It's not even hard. Buy an anonymous VPS with whatever meme coin you want if you think its necessary. You cannot trust 100% whatever the latest hyped up VPN is selling you.
For a bunch of 'tech gurus' this board really smokes the fucking koolaid.
Jonathan Carter
mullvad never had a public record that confirmed they don't log shit, did they? even though PIA is US based, they atleast got battle tested by feds.
Xavier Miller
Guide?
Benjamin Carter
apt-get install openvpn

Thank you, based user.
Love, user.

HMA is shit. Been using Nord for a year odd with decent results.
Benjamin Parker
its real shame that the profits are so bad. ive heard that many vpn providers ddos each other to make their service look better in comparison and continuously race to the bottom as if the average consumer cares about 5 cent per month price difference.
