€11.99 a month is a lot for a vpn that doesn’t mention port forwarding.

If you’re worried about slower speeds and higher ping you can split tunnel applications so they wont be affected by the VPN i do this for things like games and freetube(doesn’t seem to work with my vpn enabled).

If you’re in the UK could you get prosecuted for saying something “grossly offensive” around one of those ring door bells?

I also fear the $5 wrench. Honestly if you’re doing any risky and dangerous shit you have to ask yourself if its worth doing.

I like mullvad i use their dns filtering and their socks5 proxies however it does lack port forwarding so it sucks for torrenting.

Did you also register your account with a unique name and email?

I use Invidious or if that doesn’t work i split tunnel a terminal and use mpv

I’ve been using Ufw but airvpn’s kill switch seems to override it, should i be using something else?

A while ago i bought a custom domain from namecheap but i don’t seem to feel safe using it for banking, would you recommend using it for my bank instead of a protonmail email alias?

I mostly use my custom domain on protonmail for reasons like this.

Yep, I made the mistake of telling my family I care about my privacy. The amount of times I’ve been told the nothing to hide argument is stupid.

i fkin love noscript it pairs well with ublock origin

fuck it why not

you could encrypt the emails body with a gpg key that’s going to expire soon.

In terms of use, librewolf feels exactly the same as firefox. I chose librewolf but zen is my 2nd pick try them both.

I’m having a hard time believing the EU cant afford a $5 wrench for decryption

Love Mullvad and all their work but this one aint it, Im sticking with searxng.

Id rather add it to my ad blocker or dns sink hole server

I’m glad the EU is attempting to gate keep this filth but its never going to work. The kids will bypass this of course, they aren’t stupid. The EU would also have to ban all kinds of VPNs, AI generation and file sharing to achieve this goal.
