At some point, you’ve got to trust somebody.
Or, else, just don’t connect to the internet at all.

yermaw@sh.itjust.works 12 hours agoIs there any way to prove that some service like that is actually trustworthy?
To the relatively-illiterate like me, theres no way to know if the VPN provider is just building a big file on you themselves

This is the right question to ask and the ultimate reason why I don’t use a commercial VPN service. Ultimately a commercial VPN is just moving the trust from the Internet service provider to the VPN provider (or in Tor’s case to the exit node provider)
Personally I just block all ads across everything, select more privacy friendly software, avoid known privacy invading services where feasible and otherwise generally just enjoy not knowing the scope of adtracking because I never see the ads anyways!
