Anyone got any VPNs to recommend? I know there’s a lot of varying quality out there. I’ll appreciate any recommendations, but I’m just looking to pirate games (in U.S.) and not get a letter from my ISP, so whatever is simple and easy for that purpose.

    I was on nord, now on proton. For various reasons, I’m not happy with the latter - I know it sounds like shilling, but nord gives out stupid long-term deals all the time, got me reliable service on phone and laptops, and I ended up quite trusting that shadow Panamanian company and its supposedly “independent” audits. I moved to proton only for their political stance, but at the end if the day it is just another profit-oriented business that doesn’t necessarily cater, or straight care, for one’s needs.

    I am sure there’s tons of reasons not to be on nord (hey, I fell for it, too); so maybe Mozilla then? Indeed supporting a nice project rather than a private company, even if only partially.

        Because of their massive ads campaign, they took flak on three points: not having a fully open-sourced stack; keeping/harvesting/selling user data, and having elected to locate their business in a fiscal paradise. I have no proof of this, but the smoke got me coughing up for a paid plan with proton.
