A tip: degoogle, demicrosoft, defacebook (and maybe also deapple)

I've used them for years. They're likely the most private VPN, but I still can't recommend them. Their IPs are constantly blocked, and with few servers, switching doesn't help (thi…

Isn't this textbook enshittification?

I don't care much about that anymore because their VPN service has really gone bad. They are great in terms of privacy, but in every other aspect, they suck. Their VPN randomly dis…

My only problem with Mullvad is that you get a lot more captchas and blocks from websites than you get from other VPNs.
