Comment on Utah tells porn sites to take the P out of VPNs, and it's their fault that they can't
Powderhorn@beehaw.org 6 days agoI mean, I’m using Mullvad. I don’t have the hardware to host my own VPN in a van, so this is my best approach. Could I host Wireguard locally? Sure. With access to alternating-current power.

When I said I host my own, I mean on cheap VPS that cost me way less than 6$/month.
But yeah, mullvad is pretty much the only commercial VPN provider I’d trust more than my ISP

I would counter that I’m saving $1,500 a month by living in a van. As a cost, the VPN is a rounding error.

My point was never about the cost anyway. It was about VPNs (commercial or hosted on a cheap VPS) still needing you to trust a third party, and also that the P in VPN does not mean “privacy”

I’d counter that I trust my data going through Sweden ahead of letting an American conglomerate gain access.
