You ain't gonna get mine, you fuckers.
Proton VPN with port forwarding turned off...Or Mullvad with quantum secure encryption...whichever you want.
Why port forwarding off specifically?
But my nicotine+ connection....
Huh, how the hell does turning off port forwarding improve privacy? I am so confused, security yes but privacy.
when you use port forwarding, you're opening yourself up to a lot of malicious activity. Someone could maliciously plant some CP on your hard drive if you have port forwarding enabled.
Yeah, doesn't everyone use a VPN in some form by now?
A lot of people still don't and they use public wifi too. And some people with VPNs are using shitty ones like nord, express or Private internet access or surfshark
Surfshark and nord are owned by the same company and express and PIA are owned by the same company. So PIA isn't trustworthy anymore, their court proven no-logs policy isn't valid anymore because they got bought out since then.
Reddit is already blocking some Proton VPN IPs...
I haven't had that problem when I use proton. Try using secure core with the browser extension.
