I’m thinking about paying for a VPN, I currently don’t use one.
I’d like to use Mullvad but they don’t seem to have regional prices, while Proton does.
I wonder if Proton is still a reliable option, Proton is 60% cheaper in my country, probably because regional pricing (but I didn’t check if it’s really the case).
If anyone has any other suggestion I’d like to hear it.
Yes locks on your door are pointless because if someone wants to break into your house they’re going to do it once way or another, especially if you leave the window open
This is a dumb take.
You are right, your take is really dumb. So why do you share it?
A dumb take is, to pay for something you might get nothing from. But hey, you do you… VPN-providers are happy for people like you.
You just described every form of insurance.
To you, maybe… I’m sorry to hear that your insurances isn’t working for you.
What I described might be taken as me describing an insurance, that you totally foil, without knowing it, because you didn’t read the policy, and you don’t know what it covers and doesn’t cover.
If everyone always got payouts for the insurance they pay into, the industry literally could not exist.
It’s the entire business model.
Clueless… If you have insured your house against fire, and your house burns down, you should always get the money you have insured it for. If the shed in your yard is not covered by that insurance, you won’t get any money if it burns down. That’s logic. If you want money for that too, it should be included in the police.
But I see that you really don’t get the point here, even though you wanted to use “insurance” as the (faulty) example here. Maybe you should stick to the topic.
And which VPN provider is it you’re getting “nothing” from? There seems to be a budding market for VPN’s out there, lots of people are paying for them and continue to do so, why do you think that is? Because the whole world is stupid and it’s a pointless waste of money? Or because they are actually in fact getting some kind of use from them?
VPN’s have a myriad of uses, you’re focusing on some ambiguous nation-state attacker tracking you down for whatever reason. Meanwhile, quite a lot of users would just like to watch porn without having to submit ID. I’d say they’re getting plenty of use out of their VPN for that.
Do take the time to read the comments, so you get the context.
As I already said, if you don’t know how to keep your usage of the internet private, then you will not be private with a VPN either. VPN doesn’t keep you private. It will help you to attain a little more privacy, but only is you use it right.
Please don’t tell me what I am focusing on, when I haven’t even said it… Making straw man arguments is low. Lying is low…
I literally quoted you, so don’t try playing the “I never actually said that” card.
It’s ironic that you’re now complaining about context and strawmen when you yourself started it with the whole “anyone who wants to know who you are…” argument. This mysterious “anyone” is the ultimate strawman because they’re anonymous and all encompassing. Meanwhile, you have zero idea what anyone wants from their VPN’s so you’re making the broad, sweeping statements while lacking any context yourself.
I didn’t write that anywhere… You are clueless, to say that you “literally quoted” me… You didn’t. What a great liar you are.
It’s ironic that you are this dumb, so please go troll someone else with your childish way of making shit up in a debate.
