Hello all!

I have been out of the piracy game since a little before mullvad lost port-forwarding; I know these things are ever changing, and to my understanding ivpn is a good bet at this moment in time.

I was wondering what everyone else has been using. As well as if anyone has tried the gui client for ivpn either built from source or the AUR build(I do use arch btw).

I am open to any vpn client that has a good reputation in the community, and build-able from a repository; A gui is preferred but not necessary, and absolutely NO account creation (Except for generic account numbers of course).

Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to answer.

self host on an obscure vps, I recommend buyvm

Doing so gives you a unique IP so you lose out on a lot of privacy.

That's true, though you can at least make sure the ISP that examines your data is in a country that doesn't care about these things as much, like Portugal. You can do similar with a mainstream VPN, but then you're sending your data to an IP your local ISP & law enforcement is more likely to be suspicious of.
