With the upcoming restrictions on third-party apps that Google has announced maybe? It'll be easier to get from Play, and may not be available otherwise at all.

As I mentioned, the availability section is security focused. F-Droid has potential security issues compared to Accrescent or the Google Play Store.

Even so, you never knowif they're really no log. What guarantees that apart from a verbal promise?

Proton VPN supports port forwarding. IVPN and Mullvad VPN do not. Mozilla VPN and NymVPN don't explicitly state whether or not they do from what I found, so I'm not sure.

I had the same dilemma after mullvad stopped allowing you to create port forwards. I switched to Proton which works fine but I'm curious what other options are out there. It can be hard to find the details about port forwarding, especially if it only works when using their app and not with openvpn/wireguard which is easier for running containers.

Oh boy, seems I missed something again. What's wrong with PIA? I've been using them forever.

Yeah the spreadsheet is kind of useless without that information

Why not PIA? I was looking into it for port forwarding

That seems to be a bug. That's my bad. Thanks for catching that! I'll fix it soon and edit the post.

Edit: Fixed! Sorry about that.

Most people haven't, till they have.

Yeah me neither. This kinda feels like a nymvpn ad

Same boat, Nym's long term costs seem to scale much better, but I'd be reluctant to leave Mullvad

That's another bug on my part. I'll fix this in version 2.0 :)

Yes, I use mullvad VPN on Linux. It works fine. You don't need their client, of course, but it is good.

I can confirm that Mullvad VPN client works quite well on Linux.

I have experience with airvpn on linux. They have a couple different client options as well as being able to config files for both openvpn and wireguard. All of which I have used and haven't had any notable challenges using.

The AirVPN client works well on Linux. They provide really good Linux support. https://airvpn.org/linux/

I really like Mullvad. I can’t speak towards their app though I just export the configurations and import them to my distros networking settings so I can activate it more easily.

(if they exist) on Linux

secureblue is Linux.

I don't use the official client, but airvpn with pure wireguard works perfectly.

I think Tor is too slow for most people / everyday browsing

As someone who regularly uses Tor, it takes like 5 minutes to load a simple webpage half the time

Because it is not a good option to route that kind of traffic. It's okay for most use cases, though.

VPNs and Tor are used for different purposes (sort of).

And common tasks like downloading big-ish files or streaming video should not be done on Tor (it's possible, but I believe it is discouraged), but can be done easily over a VPN.

I've included it both as a post image and as an embedded image for maximum compatibility (e.g. for RSS readers), so there shouldn't be any problems. I've tested it on multiple browsers on multiple devices just fine.

Edit: It seems lemmy.world is breaking all lemmy.ml images

Does using a VPS truly enhance safety while torrenting? Isn't it still possible for downloads and uploads to be traced back to your identifiable IP address, especially considering that the VPS provider logs your IP and email details?

Soon :)

I plan to make a version 2.0 with some requested changes.

Maybe I misunderstand wireguard, but don't you still need a VPN provider to connect to? If it's just your home server, how would you get any anonymity?

I assume you're talking about creating a VPN into your own personal network? Unless you have family or friends in a different country I fail see how you're circumventing geo restrictions or gain anonymity on the internet.

Don’t do this if you want to use a VPN to pirate stuff. It’s a fine suggestion for anything else, using a VPS w/self hosted VPN to provide a basic degree of anonymity.

CEO is a jackass but the product is fantastic and has a great free tier, although P2P/torrenting was removed from the free tier unfortunately I believe

I'm not sure about your statement, but using a very unknown vpn could lead to possibly tracking you because theres less of a crowd to blend in with.

Assuming your statement is correct (idk if it is), then there's a middleground i guess.

Using one only because it's super well known? Sure. It can be well known and scummy. But it can also be well known, trusted, vetted, etc.

And you also probably don't want to use one that is barely known as there's the lack of trust, getting, who runs it's, etc.

As long as you can generate a wireguard config that works, for example, on your desktop/main pc with wireguard directly, then Gluetun should have no issue (as far as im aware).

Gluetun specific provider support is usually just there to get setup faster (I think so it can automatically get configs for certain countries, etc).

Same here... but I don't know what I think about vpns that say around a long time. You can't help but wonder that the reason they are still around is because they got co-opted.

Nym pays users to be a relay as far as I know. There are 5 relays or 2 relays with your preference (depends on the speed and security you want). Maybe they own some servers that I don't know but their encryption techniques are quite advanced. There are articles on their websites that they cannot log anything.
