TrayKnots584149d@retoor depends on the threat model. Torrent? By all means, VPN. Chances are, it is a civil law suit that comes after you and it just stops when the IP is in Asia. But honestly, that's the extend of usefulness I can see. Or in Russia where it is legal atm.
Not talking about side2side VPN or similar. Those are quite valuable. -
devRancid635149d@retoor No your provider doesn't have useful logs anymore when using a VPN, but the VPN has.
And the majority of internet traffic is HTTPS anyways. Except for stuff like domain names which are transmitted in plain text -
devRancid635149dThe only reason to use it is for tunneling into your own network or bypassing IP/geo-blocking
Not for privacy/security like all these shills claim -
BordedDev1424149d@retoor That's probably because Tor has been compromised (or at least a good chunk was)
@devRancid You can now also DNS over HTTPS -
cuddlyogre1541149dNord is now 150 a year, all so I can train the captcha robots on what a streetlight is. I dumped it.
Do you sometime think about the losers paying 10 euros a month on a VPN so I can watch stupid yuotube videos?
