    What vpn to migrate to? Proton trys to be Google 2.0 and centralize, The ones from the adverts (nord, tunnelbear, surfshark) dont protect your privacy and are therefore useless…

    Anyone with more tech knowledge got a recommendation fro maximum privacy and decent enough speed and ping for hd videos and casual gaming?

      I’m going with Nym when my Mullvad sub is up. If I can get a refund from Mullvad without KYCing myself, I’ll do so earlier.

      Nym runs your traffic through 5 nodes or 2 nodes (a nixnet) depending on user selected setting. Node operators are paid in crypto based on the number of packets they handle. The CEO is an anarchist and expects to be in prison at some point. Nym is designed to continue running even if all the higher ups are in prison.

      I’m not a customer, just got all this from an interview with the CEO on with TheHatedOne.

      Edit: This is the interview I mentioned https://www.bitchute.com/video/uoyDTW2nxWk

        My Mullvad sub ended very shortly after this news broke. I paid for nym but the connection on my Android would constantly disconnect and reconnect. On my Linux PC the connection was much more stable but every time I started my PC I would have to restart the daemon because it would never auto start properly. I ended up getting an ivpn subscription as I have used them before and had no problems. I paid for the 2 year sub for nym using their $nym token so it was fairly cheap. I don’t care too much as I want to support them and hope they can improve the experience and I may use the 5 hop mixnet occasionally.

        Thx for the suggestion, I have seen this, the hated one is my only good source on this topic, but more than one source would be nice.

        The anarchist story was one of those which sounded almost to good to be true in my ears

      I use AirVpn. Seems good (no logs, etc) and they allow payment via bitcoin.

      I moved to them as they allow port forwarding when many others were dropping the option

      Airvpn and ivpn are the only ones that cone across as ethical to me now. No idea re: details since I have not used either of them (yet).
