Someone upload this one to sourcehut. I'm really curious to see how Drew will response to DMCA like that

You should have "How do I know if they are not keeping logs of my IP address connections"

Your IP address does not always relate to you, either because you are using a public wifi(that you can bypass the payment portal thanks to mullvad btw) or on top of tor etc.

Your ISP is also a company, and as I said above you should not share your private information with them if possible and legal in your country.

They also claim:

When a customer connects to a VPN server, the server asks the central service to validate the account number, whether or not the account has any remaining time, if the account has reached its allowed number of connections, and so on. Everything is performed in temporary memory only; none of this information is permanently stored to disk

Which I have to guess is true for all the police raids they had that left the police with 0 evidence.

Ask specific questions, and be nice to others. You won't learn much here otherwise, and if you know everything, why even post?

I do not advocate for mullvad, there are many other companies that are valid choices. That's why I posted this to learn what others use or maybe some that are not even listed by torrentfreaks not to argue about the no-log policy of Mullvad.

Some companies like Mullvad have no way to even keep logs

They do not ask for information that would deanonymize you would be a better way of putting that

I’m not familiar with them, can you explain how you are certain they don’t keep logs?

TL;DR They do not ask you for any info that would deanonymize you & support FOSS projets

None of that answers my question.

I just shared a link where they answer those questions in much more detail that I can do via Lemmy commet replies. If you have specific questions please share them, if someone wants to help you out they will reply, otherwise just read the article and try different VPN providers out yoruself.

edit: formatting replies edit2: Because you edited your reply you should NEVER trust any company with your personal information. You should just NOT give it to them, I do not trust Mullvad or any other "privacy" related company to store data that would deanonymize me, you are proving my point that you do not read what I'm typing or the article I've shared.

• Does not contain non-free js in their website
• Do not depend on google services etc.
  • Also have made major contributions to FOSS projects
• There is no Swedish law applicable to them to share data with their goverment
• They do NOT even allow you to create an account, you just generate a random account number, fill it up with time(monero & bitcoin & cash payment via mail allowed)
• They also offer OpenVPN with RSA-4096 and WireGuard which uses Curve25519 and ChaCha20-Poly1305
• Also awesome DNS protection

There are other VPN providers that offer similar stuff to mullvad, I can keep going for days.

TL;DR They do not ask you for any info that would deanonymize you & support FOSS projects

Some companies like Mullvad have no way to even keep logs

The list are not recommended VPN Providers, they are anything but private since they are using Google services etc

Paying with credit cards etc deanonymizes you

I'm not a fan of using crypto as an investment tool, but since I cant pay with cash via the internet crypto is the next best option.

A piracy forum needs to be decentralised and based on FOSS software to be able to have quality content, we are not advertisement friendly lol.

Lemmy is the best option.

If not Lemmy then maybe a discourse forum but that would be even worse for mobile users.

Lemmy will only get better from now on, but tbh I prefer its UI over other alternatives official app.

I use a VPN to avoid captivation portals. That alone makes it worth it for me since I can have free internet connection, my ISP just puts a captivation portal instead of just cutting off your internet access.

Let Reddit die, they've monetized our content and then spit at our faces, especially at the mods.

Please create a decentralized harbor to share piracy related content. Dont visit this site again.

The ublcok solution above works fine, but you don't have to use the dev tools while in the site. Just F12 before going to the site -> performance -> start recording -> close dev tools -> visit site and start watching the video -> close tab and back to dev tools -> capture recording

edit: this way you are capturing all network traffic without dev tooll

Thanks!

It's a must have add on, but it's still just an add on, we should know the basics of what's happening behind the scenes to sail the 7 seas.

The reason I posted that is to inspire some of you in creating fancy scripts that can easily do more than just downloading one video.
