Which VPN is best for UK?

Thanks for your input. I thought I'd ask here before getting myself a subscription with a bad VPN for 3 years.

One thing I can say from my cursory research, is that AirVPN does seem future proof with all the censorship going on with governments these days (looking at their twitter shows support for Assange and Manning).

Nice one, Steven.

The privacy part is up in the air since most VPNs will completely do the opposite of what they promise if the feds show up
I use mullvad but I can't say they aren't collecting data for sure, just that I like their service and payment options
>setup one yourself
>nor am I worried about my privacy
We ain't you fuckass

You recommended AirVPN which is also shady (based in EU) and has shit customer service, that's why I called you a shill. I never mentioned NordVPN anywhere.

see Don't ask for VPN recommendations on sites like Jow Forums or reddit, 99% of people in VPN threads are marketers
Also don't trust reviews, as most are paid
You need to talk to people you actually know and who don't work for VPN companies for legit recommendations

VPN is free. Its called https and its built into your browser.

You are right. I didn’t think that marketeers would have their slimy tentacles so deep into the internet. Before posting here, I did a quick search on the internet and I got multiple top 10 lists sites dedicated SOLELY to VPNs.
I’ll have to ask some friends to see what they are using before I commit to a purchase.

and if you noticed, the top 10 sites always recommend and link whichever VPN pays them off, it tends to be either Nord or PIA as of late, haven't seen any of the other ones marketed as heavily.

Mullvad

i wouldnt be surprised if the entertainment industry doesnt get a piece of the vpn action and in return the vpn operators are allowed to do business without getting dmca notices. kinda brilliant really.

Self hosted via aws/vultr/azure

Ah, that explains the random "75% LIMITED TIME PROMOTION" I got when I clicked on the link.

The incentives are there. It is plausable theory.

Thanks for that. Very interesting that you only use a generated account number and they don't take any other information.

the promotion timer is fake and resets everyday
I'm pretty sure that must be illegal somewhere

Is Wireguard a meme? I heard some people saying not to use it.

Is Sweden a good country to be based in? Another user mentioned the EU in a negative light.

Wireguard is the best L3 tunneling software we have right now. It's extremely straight forward, has good crypto, and it's performance is outstanding compared yo the likes of OpenVPN/Tinc etc.
I'm personally using Wireguard for nearly all of my tunnel networking stuff and it works great.

Services that invest that much in marketing are pretty shady when it comes to policy
It's a no questions asked system that I can put more faith in. Lose the number, lose your 5 euros but you can instantly make another.
14 eyes is a hell of a lot better than 5 eyes, and maybe there are some legal benefits for the user of not being based in the middle of nowhere. Granted, being under no law at all would be ideal if the service was accountable.

14 eyes is a problem if you're a pedo sure. If you download torrents and evade bans on websites you're fine. Sure their customer service is condescending but they know what they Are doing.

Wireguard is a neat protocol but it requires logging to a degree on the server which openvpn does not. This is why some truly privacy focused vpns refuse to use it. It's still in beta

you're retarded

They have no data retention laws so that's a good thing. The EU thing is about 5,9,14 eyes working together to stop crime.

>ran by antifa fggots

>sources: dude trust me

Its been confirmed they're run by zionist antifa cucks. Have fun getting doxed and FBI show up are your house.

Any links to any info on this? I'd appreciate it

>spoon feed me
No, im not going to give you any sources, info, links because you're a lazy fuck. If you were actually in touch with the industry you would know all VPNs are run or have very close ties with zioinst lobbies/JIDF. As user said make your own VPN or use antifa ziocuck shit.

based schizoposter

>im not going to give you any sources, info, links because you're a lazy fuck
No, I don't have any sources whatsoever, but EVERYONE knows that the claim I pulled out of my ass is true, duh

How can VPNs "data mine" me if im only using https websites? Shouldn't https encrypt all connections between me and the server, so the VPN and anyone else in between cant read the data?
This is something I really dont understand in thr VPN "data mining" shill like what fags here say about NordVPN.

You know what, I'm fucking done. Good bye, go ad hominem on Jow Forums right wing retard.

any vpn that is constantly being shilled by advertising and fucking faggots on youtube is a provider you should avoid.

provide proof or shut the fuck up, you stupid cunt.
>>spoon feed me
so.. you have nothing? HAHAHA. what a SHOCKING TURN OF EVENTS. SHOCKING! AHAHA

Correct all they have is the website you're connected to. If they have their encrypted DNS servers setup the right way they can't see anything not even the site you're visiting

I said leave me the fuck alone.

> be called out as a pathetic compulsive liar
> beings to cry
suicide, faggot. all of you compulsive liars need to be fucking gassed as soon as possible.

I didn't fucking lie. Sorry you're a zero IQ web dev cuck who doesn't know how to work a search engine. go back to using javascript, node js, and other nigger tier shit to write bloated garbage no one cares about. I dont give a fuck if you don't believe me now leave me the fuck alone.

It's not even that we're angry at you, but dismissing requests to substantiate your claims as "spoon feeding" and appealing to (non-existent) social proof instead creates an environment where facts don't matter, only opinions.

If you have a good VPN you shouldn't let Jow Forums know because they'll get it banned.

still waiting for proof, compulsive lying faggot.

>Wireguard is a neat protocol but it requires logging to a degree on the server which openvpn does not.

This is what I heard. Why does it require logging? Is this just their choice? Or is it actually required?

VPNs are not to protect you against the glowniggers. It's for torrenting without receiving letters from law enforcement.
i2p is way better for anonymization but slower.

Here AirVPN explains why Wireguard requires logging and because of that they simply will not use it.
airvpn.org/forums/topic/43824-just-wanted-to-add-my-5-cents/

and here is Mullvads response to Wireguard logging. Apparently they delete your information 180 seconds after not reconnecting? That would mean it's stored on the server at some point after you leave. This is problematic but more than likely Mullvad runs baremetal servers running on RAM only so once the server gets disconnected/seized everything is lost anyway.
I guess it depends on your threat model since WG is still in beta.

Just ignore him at this point. He has exposed himself as a complete charlatan.

Ghost

They were bought by a company that distributes malware and is super shady

This is well known knowledge

>Run by antifa cucks

This

Is it really? I heard NordVPN is a data mining operation. Are antifa really running cryptostorm?

how the fuck can vpn be a data mining operation if you're using https?
fucking Jow Forums, i swear

So is it?

Based

I don't care anymore, but when I did AirVPN was what I used. It was very solid.

hey i have a question and i dont much about this stuff
do vpn providers offer a proxy service as well so that i can connect individual applications (eg IRC client) without having to route entire traffic through them?

Attached: qt.jpg (750x569, 47K)

This. NordVPN needs to die.

P-please respond

>do vpn providers offer a proxy service as well so that i can connect individual applications (eg IRC client) without having to route entire traffic through them?
I know it's possible on Linux to bind a process to a specific network interface, idk about the OS you're using.

>torrenting
>VPN
why? use a proxy in your torrent client. it's cheaper and it does the exact same thing as a VPN (change your IP in the swarm so copyright trolls can't get your real one). it's also faster (lets you use your full speed) AND there is no way that the VPN drops and you keep torrenting on your real IP (if the proxy is down you simply wont be able to torrent until its fixed).
tl;dr proxy > vpn for torrents.

yes, most give you a free proxy with your subcription. PIA is a good one.

PIA's lack of warrant canary is concerning, but it pales in comparison to PIA appointing Mark Karpeles as their CTO. Karpeles is under arrest in Japan for fraud and money laundering. As CEO of Mt. Gox he oversaw the biggest Bitcoin fraud in history, $480 million. He claims innocence but somehow $2.3 million mysteriously materialized in his personal Bitcoin wallet at the same time all his customers' Bitcoins vanished. There's also a warrant out for his arrest in France which he fled in order to avoid serving his prison sentence there for hacking his employer's servers. So if the past is any indication it's likely Karpeles will hack PIA's servers too. Anyone who trusts a company like PIA with their security is naive in the extreme.

All vpns harvest your data, you're not 100% safe being behind one, keep this in mind. But with that said, it still protects you agents the vast majority of low hanging first servaliance that's done by bots, but if a law enforcement entities wants you identified they will.
Take it as a security layer, not a solution in to itself

Wrong

Ignoring your grammar, no. They're not that competent.

I had no idea that you could do that. That will solve all my problems if I can do that.

I've looked through all my settings on my torrent client (qBittorrent) and couldn't find any proxy settings. I did, however, find "annonymous mode" and I enabled all the other settings that could potentially help with privacy. I might need to switch torrent client but I'll will see if the copyright trolls email me this time.

Use something like PeerBlock man. That will block mostly all the IPs of the copyright trolls. Also Peerblock block lists can be updated without paying. Right click on the peerblock icon and find the folder with the block lists. Delete only the block list and then restart Peerblock. It will update and you will now have new lists. I have been using Peerblock for 5 years and have downloaded everything imaginable even torrents that comments claim got dl'ers copyright notices and have never been bothered. My ISP loves sending people CR letters so that means something is working.

If proxies on my torrent client fail, I think I will go with AirVPN as I don't do any illicit activities on the net except being a pirate.

If it does work then I will use Mulvad or cryptostorm for short term use whenever I need it.

I'll get on that now. Thanks for recommendation.

Just get something based in Russia. In the UK you can buy a prepaid CC number and cv2 that comes on a printed receipt from the majority of news agents. Sign up for a Russian VPN using that card and bingo.

I might be being a complete retard but whenever I search for a VPN based in Russia, I get the usual suspects... NordVPN, ExpressVPN and such.

Do you know of any Russian VPNs?

I would not recommend a Russian VPN because they have horrible data retention laws. VPNs pulled their servers from Russia when Russian Data Centers stated they must log by law. Having a VPN based in such a bad country for data retention is ass backwards

>VPN based in Russia
Why would you want that

>Just get something based in Russia.
Why? Russian internet is censored and fsb is not your friend.
Get something located in eastern europe. Decent speeds, no censorship and pretty poor dmca enforcement.

Just pay for your porn license lad

the one i'm using

No problem. You'll be surprised just how many entities are seeding torrents

VPNs only see which websites you are connecting to. Use tor over the vpn and then they vpn will only see encrypted tor traffic.

No

Why not?

VPN into TOR isn't a terrible idea, but you still have other programs that your VPN is able to track (hypothetically). You also have the disadvantage of people knowing you're on tor (potential blocking) and the slow speed it comes with

I'm not. I was just weighing up options and I'm trying to learn a little about other anons’ approaches to these problems.

Wow, that changes my view on Russia completely. I had the naive view that Russia was like the wild west in terms of freedom on the internet.
