Are VPN good for privacy today, should we used them to protect our privacy?
Not free, none have all advantages and wouldn’t let my ISP only know my traffic so these times I’m really overwhelmed by all of this
Used Tor for a bit but it’s not practically useful, slow (okay but not the main problem) and blocked by a lot of websites…
Maybe a chain of VPN could be good? I really don’t know, can you help me?
Basically I don’t want to have no protection but don’t think VPNs are really the solution…
PS: maybe a rented machine with self hosted like VPN could be good?
As some have stated depends on treat model. I personally use Mullvad for both pirating and accesing restricted sites in my country and evading shity laws. 5€ 5 devices with no bottleneck it’s pretty good. Sometime I use tor when I try to reach a site that the WiFi provider has blocked
The problem with Mullvad is that there is not port forwarding for seeding stuff
There’s no problem with seeding. There’s actually more uploaded than downloaded
My bad
not working quite that well on my end. no matter how popular torrent, mine won’t seed at all. and i can’t download some rare ones where there’s like less than 50 seeds.
What OS are you using? App? If you’re using qbittorent make sure you have selected tun in advanced -> network interface
