I’m thinking about paying for a VPN, I currently don’t use one.

I’d like to use Mullvad but they don’t seem to have regional prices, while Proton does.

I wonder if Proton is still a reliable option, Proton is 60% cheaper in my country, probably because regional pricing (but I didn’t check if it’s really the case).

If anyone has any other suggestion I’d like to hear it.

Do take the time to read the comments, so you get the context.

As I already said, if you don’t know how to keep your usage of the internet private, then you will not be private with a VPN either. VPN doesn’t keep you private. It will help you to attain a little more privacy, but only is you use it right.

Please don’t tell me what I am focusing on, when I haven’t even said it… Making straw man arguments is low. Lying is low…

I literally quoted you, so don’t try playing the “I never actually said that” card.

It’s ironic that you’re now complaining about context and strawmen when you yourself started it with the whole “anyone who wants to know who you are…” argument. This mysterious “anyone” is the ultimate strawman because they’re anonymous and all encompassing. Meanwhile, you have zero idea what anyone wants from their VPN’s so you’re making the broad, sweeping statements while lacking any context yourself.

you’re focusing on some ambiguous nation-state attacker tracking you down for whatever reason

I didn’t write that anywhere… You are clueless, to say that you “literally quoted” me… You didn’t. What a great liar you are.

It’s ironic that you are this dumb, so please go troll someone else with your childish way of making shit up in a debate.

You’ve been making shit up since this whole debate started. You’re the textbook definition of “perfection is the enemy of good enough” because 99% of people will find that a VPN is good enough but according to you they’re worthless.

99 % percent will find, that they think they are safe, and yet they are not.

Thanks for your made up history about me. Hope it made you feel better. :-) But it didn’t refute anything I have said. And since you can’t either, you just go ad hominem… That’s just sad.
