VPN, even for legal stuff cause “we can see you” can f off tbh
VPN’s are the new essential subscription service for online content. Back in the olden times, we had to pay for minutes of using internet and long distance phone calls, today we have to pay for privacy and access to content we’re “not allowed” to see. And what you’re allowed to see or not is a strange, politically motivated list that is always changing.

Back in the olden days people scoffed at China fencing off the web, shutting down access to sites and whatnot. Now politicians in plenty of western countries actively talk about it like a good thing.

On top of that, the big visible VPN companies are all owned by the same one or two companies, and while they boast loudly about keeping you safe, they do fuck all for privacy. You’re just paying to give your data away. There’s a scarce few good private VPNs, but they also don’t tend to advertise much.

Well don’t leave us hanging, which one’s the best?
Mullvad or Proton are both easy recommendations
