    Makes sense to be fair. People only think of personal quick gains over long term generational games as has been shown time and time again

    Mullvad are absolutely the GOAT for most people so that's fair. If you need port forwarding or other fringe uses then not so much but you can't go wrong with how well they stick by…

    Nah some VPNs allow you to rent a "residential" I.P which is shared by 5-15 people tops. They're rarely caught up or get flagged. This was in 2021 however so can't comment on the e…

    Top right my guy, with the same treatment as others. There's 100% a difference between a billion dollar corporate owner vs indies. As well as the amount of spend that goes into aff…

    IVPN are studs of the industry, no doubt. Very serious folk working hard on sticking to their privacy principles - rare today for sure!

    Yeah I made the original map and the updated version, updating the suggestions from the thread now so if you have any by all means let me know and I'll add them. I made this while …

    Affiliate campaigns! So basically you'll see in review articles for everything a link with a ton of fluff and tracking in it. Say you want a new pair of headphones. You'll probably…

    It depends on what you're doing but the ones in green to the top right are independents but IVACY recently have suffered an issue. If you have issues with the corporate owners you …

    I used to find it worked here and there for me (Shanghai Telecom, 4/5G was OK. Home didn't work). Shadowsocks worked well for me but then got janky - ended up using a local VPN for…

    An update to the 2022 VPN affiliate relationship map. A handy reference for who is owned by who - including their status or whether they're actually part of a bigger corporation. T…

    All the best to them. I was involved with a few Vice projects in 2011-2014 and it was honestly leadership that let them down. They have great talent but it's not easy in this day a…

    This site does what it preaches but these seem a little off. Some of these I'd argue against but I'd also argue I'm not qualified to. Anyone care to chime in with their caveats to …
