I fucking hate that companies pull shit like this.
Been with PIA for years, tried Nord once but the speeds were awful so got my money back
Why would anyone trust any 3rd party VPN service?
Lots of talk of selling data here. Anybody got a good research article on it? Nord claims they don’t touch the data, and don’t keep logs, and have regular 3P audit verification. Not saying I trust what they’re saying, but it would be good to read some legit sources on the subject.
Wouldn’t trust nord with my traffic.
Why do you think you need a vpn?
Why would you need a vpn?
-privacy? Your traffic is https encrypted anyways.
-bypass geo restriction is the only reason i can think of, but that doesnt improve your network. In fact it makes it worse

Don't get nordvpn lol. Want to be limited to like 100-300mbit depending on time of day. Want to be blacklisted from many services.
MullVad is my personal favorite, no bullshit discounts, no account creation with data harvesting or 3 year contracts for 81% discounts and can handle 1.6Gbit down/up.
I'm not quite sure why everyone seems to be getting these types of 3rd party VPN services. What do you even need them for ? If you travel a lot and want to access content in other countries, sure why not, but if you're just in your home I don't see what meaningful benefit there is. You won't suddenly get faster internet, it's not inherently more secure and your IP is just your IP. I guess these companies it's demographic are for people who don't really know what they're doing, kinda like Anti Virus software back in the day?
