Comment on Exposing the billion dollar secret most VPN companies don't want you to know
CallMeAnAI@lemmy.world 4 days agoAny commercial entity will allow the state to spy users.
Using somebody else’s vpn is only useful for getting geoblocked content. If you want actual protection from the government you need it running on your own hardware and configured with a dead man’s switch.

And I’m sure the government hasn’t complelled them to do anything in the background.

It’s not healthy being this paranoid. You’re not being hunted by the government.

Move that goal post a bit more. It’s clear you haven’t read up on how it’s used all the time.
I’m not saying I or the average person on this forum needs to use these measures. The average person isn’t hiding data or capable of hiding from the state completely. But do not advertise a commercial VPN as a tool to remain private from the state. It is a worthless tool unless the person on the other end is going to jail for you.

The whole point of using a VPN for privacy is because you are paranoid of your isp and government

Not true. I’ve been pirating for almost a decade from my VPN. One time it crashed and keep seeding, I got 108 notices from ISP.
Fixed the issue by binding my nic to the app, never had issues again.

I’m honestly shocked that you get the sort of individual here in Lemmy that doesn’t understand the difference between a commercial company; and DHS, DoJ, JTAC, DGSI, etc.
Please read my comment again and tell me why you think torrenting might make you an enemy of the state. God damnit it’s hard keeping lemmings on topic.
