    If you're really concerned about privacy, Mullvad is the way to go. Be sure to use it with the Mullvad browser if you need an extra layer of privacy.

    The entire point for a VPN is keeping you and your shit PRIVATE. NORD is crap. They set the bar that way when they allowed police access to their logs. ProtonVPN is another of that same caliber. NO point in paying for shit like that. Stay away from them unless you like flushing your hard earned $$ down the toilet and opening yourself to possible investigation. Mullvad, I have no word for or against. Unless you can verify that a VPN service uses RAM only servers and NO user logs are ever written to any sort of perma-storage device or transmitted anywhere offsite then leave it and search for something that fits the expectations of a real VPN. Unfortunately with VPN you get what you pay for - the lower priced "bargains" get you lower priced, bargain service.

    there's probably a jdownloader plugin that you need to put your authentication info (to alldebrid) in, at least that's how it works for the realdebrid I use

    well its not a swizz number bankaccount ,just sayin....
    tor also came along as lets say for the good cause to me but if you dig deeper ....
    always a qustion of what you wanna hide or protect...in future when there is only bitmoney ,rich people wont use such services ,i guess they dont even use it know.
    anyways most ppl using vpn living in dreamworld utopia of safety ,i would never ever use not a dedicated machine for things like amazon or bank stuff or just money transaction data ,or simple adresses and use instead a machine where i do everything on ,and when i know its risky , vpn or not. .....aand when it comes to totalarian countrys and i wanted to communicate i surely wouldnt do my bet on such a service ......aaaaand the guys using vpn cause loading oneclick hoster warez are funny ....ok torrent another story as we know but if someone thinks that the right torrent from right place cant fck them cause using a vpn ....ohh dude .

    Instead of paying VPN or premium hoster why not just try the demo of plugins and then invest money into that instead.

    Premium account or VPN can be about $50 per year, depending on what service someone picks to use. Maybe for the same price you can buy 1 decent plugin every 2 years.

    Indeed :) better one plugins which is usefull than each day a new which get barely touched since already a new is getting downloaded.

    There are so many great plugins available for $50 or less.
    Or rent2own.

    But it is all matter of what one want.
    Making music with usefull tools or downloading and collecting and not learning how to use them.
    Or both :)

    Looks like you have no idea you're talking about and have to do some studying. Do some reading and know your your threat level.

    If you're not willing to, that's your problem and stop talking shit about it.

    so you cant determine it ?
    you think this is not relative ? not a fluid term ?

    i talked shit bout privacy ? or did i say there is none in the digital realm ?

    again go on paying for useless services....i could go deeper but that bit of reality is allready to much for you ? seems so....
    ...and ,
    apparently i was asking to determine privacy in his particular case to go deeper but fck it ...

    have a nice day

    I fully understand that the advertised slogan and the reality are different.

    So, what should I do if I still want to use a VPN?

          ――――――――――――――――――――――――
    I'm interested in CyberGhost and Surfshark.
    I'd like someone who knows more about this to tell me.

    I dont think anyone here is going to do your research for you. YOU need to grab a search engine and investigate the available options yourself. Keep the following characteristics in mind when researching;
    - a particular service MUST be able to be verified as running RAM only based servers
    - you must be able to verify that NO user logs (of any kind) ever hit perma-storage or are transmitted via ANY medium for any purpose
    - Low cost or Free options manifest in low cost or free protections meaning not worth the time to even mess with...
    - stay away from services that partner (or have been known to partner) with law enforcement or govt entities. The country of origin of the service itself has a lot to do with this.
    - a service that offers their own router firmware (that you run on your own hardware device) will generally offer a more secure, and faster VPN experience. With a VPN router you can protect your entire site's worth of devices without incurring additional charges per device. Generally only the more expensive services offer something like this.

    There's no reason to pay for a VPN that leaves you open to possible investigation, leaking DNS or WEBrtc information, collecting user log information, or allowing law enforcement/govt access to your logged ip information that should never, ever see the light of day.

    To summarize the contents of this thread:

    - Free VPNs are dangerous
    - Paid VPNs are also dangerous
    - VPN companies' claims of "no-logs policy", "encryption", "ultra-fast speeds", "private DNS", "obfuscation", "no tracking", "no IP address leaks", "no DNS & WebRTC leaks", "PFS", "kill switch", "split tunneling", "robust protocols", etc. are all lies.

    Conclusion:

    All of the claims made by VPN companies are false, so it doesn't matter which service you choose.
    Don't worry, choose the service you like, leak your information, and get tracked by law enforcement!

    (The question in this thread has been resolved)

    The subject is hardy resolved If that's all you take away from this thread. Some just like to be spoon fed while others take matters into their own hands and decide for themselves.

    Anyone can write a complaint.
    What's your counterargument?
    What do you think is the best VPN?
