I have and use both.

Without choosing some sort of dns based ip blacklist (offered by both providers btw), neither one really does what you asked about.

What are you actually trying to prevent? If you don’t know what language to use, just describe the situation.

Maybe try both!! I love both VPNs

Has anyone used Mullvad vpn with a media server? I’m currently using AirVPN, but it’s not that good speed-wise. I’ve been looking at Mullvad for a while, but they’ve abandoned port forwarding, which I’m not sure how big of an impact that is.

Trackers are browser problem, get ublock origin. You can block trackers by changing your dns resolver i recommend Quad9 or adguard.

You don't really get hacked unless you download and open files or your accounts get recovered by someone sending all your information to customer support pretending to be you.

Doxxing is a low skill level threat its very easy, google your target's username and find information about them, yeah its that simple. All your user data is linked to your user name and profile picture. What i suggest doing is using the same tools doxxers use (sherlock) to find your long forgotten accounts and then delete them, remember to never use the same username and profile picture.

When a database leaks it will most likely contain your username, email and ip address, this information will be findable by username, email or ip address. If you ever use an account without a vpn using a vpn wont anonymize you from the service. Disable webrtc in your browser it often leaks ip addresses while using vpns also watch out for ip grabbers.

Tldr: dont use same usernames and profile pictures, vpn is 100% secure if used wrong.

They still see source of email and meta data.

I am not sure why they would ban account for getting links tho

What about NordVPN? I use it and I’m pretty happy.

A VPN is a VPN, having a different IP address is equally effective against those things no matter which IP it is. The issue is whether or not anyone can associate that IP with yours, and what that comes down to is how willing they are to give up their records when the government asks nicely (or, even more importantly: not so nicely.) I'm not familiar enough with either service to be able to speak to that, but everyone else seems to be talking about features, prices, politics, etc when none of those directly address your questions.

I love that Proton bots/fanboys always get pretty nervous when someone just points out the facts 🤣
