Guest Report post Posted June 22, 2022 This kind of reminds me the explosion of firewall software from the late 90's. The vast majority were garbage, capitalized on fear and quite often created more problems than actual good. Not saying VPN services are equally as bad, but the aggressive ad campaigns likely sold those to users who don't actually need this. Will also be interesting to see how the decline of Netflix will affect the future of those services. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At best, VPN services only slow the spread. Information shared with online services, businesses and social media will always be vulnerable.

Vicewatch247 4 Report post Posted September 17, 2022 Have been a fan of PIA for a while but definitely a helpful thread as I may be switching soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thor13 1039 Report post Posted October 2, 2022 Just bumped into this thread and figured I would add my 2 cents. I would highly recommend using MullVad. They offer 100% anonymity including cash payments. Even FireFox's VPN offering using them as backbone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm impressed with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
