And if you use one, are you happy with it?

I'm trying to get more into privacy and security and VPN is currently a struggle for me (and it seems also for some people in my social circle). It's mostly cost, effectiveness, but also connection issues (not being able to connect to servers, not reaching websites, sometimes slower speed.

Take it down a notch Scotty. We're all here for a common purpose. No need to brow beat people. It's exactly this attitude that I harp on in privacy forums. It's like, give a guy some information and suddenly they think they've got some moral or intellectual high ground and others are mere normies, sheep, et al. Some people don't need a VPN with a triple hop Socks proxy. Their threat model doesn't dictate that. Where as I want all the obfuscation I can get.

Funny you say that since a few hours ago someone on here posted "how did reddit ban my alts??" and you're acting like this is an issue that only affects hobbyists and experts. My guess is you don't say anything interesting enough to have issues.

Interesting. I think we've met a couple weeks ago.

At any rate, have fun storming the castle and have a great day.
