If you can make sure it has a Killswitch and maybe Aim for something you can buy with a gift card, there's about half a dozen services that will give you days for a Walmart gift card for example. Like $20/120 days.

If you're paying without a card, ipvanish is one of the few I've used that has a working scrambler.
HMA is nice for speed but they are not secure

ProtonVPN vpns pretty guuud. Swiss privacy laws means they got the least amount of scandals associated with them out of any provider.
That's what they want you to think lmao, they got some Frenchie arrested, euro scums are untrustworthy


They want you to believe Swiss make the best shit but it seems like all they are good at is money laundering

Well of course they're going to comply with court orders. There isn't any VPN out there that operates as a magic shield from prosecution for blatantly illegal shit. If you're gonna conspire to commit actual crimes with your copmagnet revolutionary larpgroup, probably best not to openly do so on a private platform that can easily be subpoena'd by the authorities.

What I'm getting at was that those laws prevent the company itself from fucking their users over in ways like those based in countries without those provisions can, whether deliberately through shit like datamining or by accidentally leaking private info because of negligence.

So what's the point of paying for a VPN? Essentially you are paying for them to ip log you while having your credit card and all the other extra info, the FBI used to have to find some nigger in a pool of 50k ips but now it's down to 5 people that paid for NigVPN in the area

It's even worse than to posting your KO game of the night on FACEBOOK at least that was free

To mask your IP from anyone who isn't an intelligence agency that's already got you on their shitlist.

Again, they're not invisibility cloaks for prospective terrorists nor were they ever meant to be. It's something to disguise one aspect of your online footprint, and it's not like IP addresses are the be-all and end-all that dummies have pretended them to be either. Way more people have gotten doxed because of their email addresses or usernames and the stupid shit they post themselves than just IP.

What's a VPN for? To access region-blocked content. To prevent companies from mining your data or getting on your ass for pirating their products. To have a couple extra hurdles for litigious fucks like Patrick, or bored online beat cops in places like Britain where free speech doesn't exist.

The one thing it won't do? Prevent the feds from seeing you post serious criminal intent on a public forum and investigating it. If you are desperate to provoke the fucking FBI for some reason and you don't wanna get caught, then yeah, you should probably get better protection than a $5-10 a month subscription for a service which primarily advertises itself through Youtube ad reads.
