Anyone got any VPNs to recommend? I know there’s a lot of varying quality out there. I’ll appreciate any recommendations, but I’m just looking to pirate games (in U.S.) and not get a letter from my ISP, so whatever is simple and easy for that purpose.
Airvpn has port forwarding
The most recommended VPN from the people who are really into internet privacy is Mullvad, so that’s what I use.
NordVPN seems pretty solid. Been using it for a bit over a year. Price seemed reasonable when I bought into the plan. I’m definitely not a super genius when it comes to this stuff and it was able to get it set up on my ancient PC and slightly less ancient iPhone without too much trouble.
I’ve torrented and seeded a few small handfulls of movies/TV series and download ROMS/.ISO’s fairly frequently and the speeds are good enough for me.
I know there’s instructions for using NordVPN on a Linux machine but its more of the “everything is done through command line instead of GUI interface” and I haven’t forced myself to stare at the walkthroughs and commit myself to “trial and error” by fire yet.
Been using windscribe for a couple years now. Very fast, pirated literally everything I can, no issues. Can’t say for sure they wouldn’t sell you down the river if they needed to, BUT they have a “build your own” plan thing, where you can literally just choose like 2 server locations for 3$ a month.
I’ve looked into this a bit. I’m hoping to eventually find a straight up Chinese or Russian VPN provider - adversarial countries won’t share with 14 eyes and other western nations. Haven’t found one yet, Kaspersky is Russian origin but is owned by a holding company in the UK, but they do have Russian servers. Nord looks kinda promising, based in Panama, but there’s no data retention laws there and they operate most of their servers as diskless, which is nice.
