If you are a pirate VPN is an essential tool. I am trying to ascertain the popularity of various VPNs in piracy community. In this excerise, I will list several Popular VPNs in the comment if you use one of them just upvote that comment and reply the reason. If you don’t find your VPN listed add a comment with just their name. Reply the reason to it. This make it easier to understand the real life user cases.

P.S: I am only looking for paid VPNs please don’t mention “free vpn”.

Windscribe

Why are you replying a bunch to your own post with the name of different VPNs?

Did you read their post? They explained that they are posting lead comments with the names of different VPNs, and they want us to vote and comment on the ones we use with our reasoning.

No Non-sense VPN. Plenty of servers and decent speed. FOSS clients for all the major platforms including linux and android.

For a noob, can anyone explain why this one is getting downvoted? Is it bad?

It has 2 votes and the second comment just hasn’t been voted on. But I also use Windscribe - the only thing to know about it is that there’s been a probe. I personally feel that they handled it well and were transparent about it. Every VPN is going to have this happen to them at some point so IMO it’s about how the information is delivered to the users that determines how trustworthy I find them.

Thanks for the explanation! I saw several more downvotes at the time I made my comment, I think it was 4 downvotes for the parent comment and 2 for the second comment. Votes between instances aren’t always consistent, I’ve noticed when I switch accounts that the same comment’s votes can vary quite a lot.

Ah that would make sense lol

Anything that isn’t Mullvad will get downvoted because many here have brought over the Reddit hivemind mentality. Many of the downvoted VPS ITT are completely safe and fine, and actually offer greater functionality than Mullvad, but you can’t deny Mullvad are the top when it comes to privacy - not even using a username/email plus allowing btc payment.
