    I am dedicated to Proton to be honest but PIA always seemed good to me based on these type of situations and audits.

      PIA was good until they got bought out. That’s when my friend and I switched our VPNs (me to proton, him to express).

      A shady parent company isn’t what you want in a VPN.

          It wasn’t at the time he switched … I think he looked at some other options after that, but might have just stayed.

          For whatever reason he wasn’t getting the performance he wanted from Proton in Texas.

        On September 13, 2021, it was reported that ExpressVPN had been acquired by Kape Technologies, an LSE-listed digital privacy and security company

        I’m on Express VPN only because they apparently specialise in avoiding geoblocks and VPN detection for overseas TV sites etc. (Plus three months free for being a TWiT.) So far it’s true for BBC iPlayer, RTe Player and UK Channel 4. For this purpose I’m not overly worried about how log-resistant they are, but interesting to keep up with the score here. The integrated ‘ad blocking’ is also useful, but slower than AdGuard as it seems pages have to wait for assets to fail to load before displaying rather than just being 404’d.

          I wonder how they manage to bypass the geo-location blocks? I would if they frequently rotate their IP Addresses with fresh ones.

      I am also interested in the Lemmy opinion of windscribe. My wife really likes them but their app used to brick my computer requiring a hard reset so I don’t use them.

    How to you syslog or net flow to identify malicious actions if you’re not logging?

    I wonder, is there a way to ensure they work the way they advertise to besides being investigated by the police and observing the result? It has to be blatant in order to force the VPN service to comply if they can.

    It’s a case od who do you believe more. The provider or the police.
