i use magnetdl.com, no ads or pop up nonsense

I use IVPN, mainly convenience as you can just pay for it for a week at a time. Also nice is you can make an account without email. You just get a string like an activation code.

"microtransactions" "exclusivities". Average silicon valley update gruel. The best that comes out of this is probably competition, while i like discord basic featureset is solid, the UI is genuinly one of the worst things i have experienced.
