COUNTRIES THAT BAN OR RESTRICT VPN SERVICES: Iran, Belarus, Iraq, North Korea, Turkmenistan, China, Russia, Egypt, India, Myanmar, Oman... United Kingdom?

An ad criticizing the UK posted on the metro so it has government approval from the same government I suppose? It gives me bad vibes that it's now gotten so big to have metro ads, I trusted it more when it was a lesser known VPN that no one was pushing on you

I understand what you're saying, but as long as they keep operating in the same way while gaining users it's better for everyone. More users means more privacy because it gets harder to tell traffic from different users apart.

I also liked them more when they weren’t popular. Second album is better, move towards keyboards was a mistake, bring back original bassist, went to hell when the drummer died, etc.
