Mullvad is by far the best for privacy since you can literally pay with cash and all your account is is a number. No email, no phone number (unless you pay with Swish), nothing at all identifiable except your IP.
The pricing is honest and very consumer friendly, although being more expensive than average. There is no subscription, just monthly cost with no special discounts to get you to buy it “cheaper”.
And they got raided by police and provided them with everything they had: Literally nothing.
Most of it is perfectly reasonable.
-
IP: Simplest identifier for smurf accounts, also very ineffective since you can just reset router. But public info anyway.
-
Game identifier: Obviously
-
Hardware dev info: More effective identifier for smurf accounts and more effective form of banning (and decent way to check if you’re in a VM, depending how hardened it is)
-
OS info: Different OS’s require different functions
-
Game and system files: Don’t agree with this one unless you’re incredibly deep into e-sports (professional). For casuals, checking game files: Fine. Checking system files: Fuck off.
-
Running processes: Checking for running non-hidden cheats
-
File names: Not quite sure what they mean here
The text at the bottom also states that it only collects this if it detects potential for cheats, which obviously is going to include false positives, but it isn’t constantly mining the data like other ACs.
BattlEye isn’t the greatest AC so should be fine anyway.
