Best country to VPN to? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

The VPN provider I use has servers in multiple countries. I was wondering if privacy laws would make it better to VPN to some countries over others when pirating.

As long as your VPN provider is a proven no-logger, just go with the best performance.

But if you really want to pick countries, Eastern Europe, Italy and Switzerland just to name a few. If you are in the US I wouldn’t be crossing the pond with my VPN but that’s up to you.

Never heard Italy before. Do they have stricter laws than EU in general?

Italy is a member of the "14 eyes", so not a good choice.

[-] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

Maybe less enforcement, that would be my guess

[-] ANIMATEK@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I’ve heard from Italian friends that been doing it for ever and nothing happened.

If you are in US probably any latin country except Mexico, Puerto Rico and Panama should be OK.

Why do people keep saying that Puerto Rico is a country?!

Third time this year.

[-] angrymouse@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I know it but it is another territory so...

That's not a strong argument to call Puerto Rico a country.

That's like saying that Japan and Okinawa are two countries.

Edit: downvoted by geography dufuses.

Edit 2: whoops. Doofuses.

It's doofus.

I think many people feel like Puerto Rico is its own country due to how it is treated by the US.

Thanks for the doofus correction. Whoops.

Puerto Rico treatment

Hm. I guess.

Curious what it is about those countries that would cause you to advise against using them?

[-] angrymouse@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

They are strongly aligned with US, and this kind of countries are usually more aggressive against piracy.

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Why wouldn't you be crossing the pond for that? Legal reasons? Latency reasons?

[-] ANIMATEK@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Because what I said in the first paragraph. If your provider is not a proven no-logger, get another one.
