  • Almost every single VPN site I’ve ever come across is just shilling referral links for the highest paying VPNs. Even the privacy sites with old good articles, their new articles for the best VPNs/most secure/ETC are all the best paying referrals.

    VPNs are not good for anonymity. They are good for public networks, and stopping companies that are heavy on piracy to not send you DCMA warnings when you torrent. That’s it. If you are actually doing criminal things (or are in a country where you’re treated as a criminal) they can traffic shape and find out who you are quick. Even multihop VPN providers aren’t much better.

    Seems someone wants to have their cake and eat it too.

    Fuck off spez.

    For what it’s worth I really enjoyed Lemmy a lot more than reddit for the first 1-4 days. Now it’s filled with a lot more people and the comments went from insightful paragraphs to meme-y 1-liners, but that’s not something a magazine purge can’t fix.
