To help you pick the best VPN, we asked dozens of VPNs to detail their logging practices, how they handle torrent users, and more.
There’s way too much hype over VPN Providers, but do not forget, you are routing all your traffic through their servers
As a general advice, if a VPN provider keeps logs of your activity, does not allow you to pay with crypto, and generally spends way too much on youtube ads is probably not an ideal choice.
Do not follow any advice/recommendation blindly, do your own research on which one offers the best service for your own needs.
You should have “How do I know if they are not keeping logs of my IP address connections”
Your IP address does not always relate to you, either because you are using a public wifi(that you can bypass the payment portal thanks to mullvad btw) or on top of tor etc.
Your ISP is also a company, and as I said above you should not share your private information with them if possible and legal in your country.
They also claim:
When a customer connects to a VPN server, the server asks the central service to validate the account number, whether or not the account has any remaining time, if the account has reached its allowed number of connections, and so on. Everything is performed in temporary memory only; none of this information is permanently stored to disk
Which I have to guess is true for all the police raids they had that left the police with 0 evidence.
Ask specific questions, and be nice to others. You won’t learn much here otherwise, and if you know everything, why even post?
I do not advocate for mullvad, there are many other companies that are valid choices. That’s why I posted this to learn what others use or maybe some that are not even listed by torrentfreaks not to argue about the no-log policy of Mullvad.
I never stated I knew everything. I asked you to back up your claim and you’ve failed to do it.
The only reason we are arguing is because I’m holding your claims to the burden of proof. You can stop being a blowhard whenever you want but you’re right, people are here to learn, so I’m doing them a service by calling out your misinformation.
