I’m tired boss…..
Just when you think you find good companies to support they end up being run by shitbags.
Ok, where to next for my VPN needs?
I highly doubt you'll find any company composed solely of people that support ideologies you agree with. I know that sounds flippant and dismissive but ultimately we should support the best options we have. Or I guess you can roll your own solution and trust that you have the skills to stay ahead of the opposition.
Not using a VPN feeds other companies valuable data. Or are you suggesting we all become hermits on public land?
nah dude i'm suggesting we become hermits together.
What info?
If you encryption & use DoH for DNS resolution, they can see the IPs you are connecting to, yes a sufficiently motivated ISP can use reverse DNS lookups to tell what sites you are accessing, but if you're ISP is that bad, find a new one.
do you trust your ISP or some guy that donated to political parties that want to kick out immigrants more?
There are many parts of the world where the ISPs really are that bad, and consumers don't have the choice to switch to a competitor that isn't equally bad.
Switch to what, starlink? Because that's the only other option for the majority of rural America. You think this issue, Elon musk, or my Trump ass kissing aligned isp is the lesser evil?
Sometimes a VPN is more trustworthy, it's just wild that people think they are always better, giving money to the main guy funding a far-right party or Comcast, seems like an easy call.
