I found this to be an interesting watch in layering security/ privacy rather than throwing the hail mary at a VPN and expecting it to keep you anonymous.

    As a wise person once said, “No company is going to break the law for you.”

    It’s fine to have some trust in your services, but it should never be without exception. The responsibility for privacy is always ours to ensure.

      No company will break the law for you, but you can, on occasion, manage to do business with a company in a location where the laws are favorable to your activity.

      Exit all your torrent traffic in a country that doesn’t care enough to hunt you down.

      I have a reasonable amount of trust in my VPN. They’ve been audited as early as 2024 by several indepentent agencies. They have proved their ‘no logs’ boast in court for quite a few instances. Even when servers were confiscated, there was no usable data found. So I feel reasonably confident in their service. However, that doesn’t mean I completely trust them.

          I appologize for my poor word choice. These are third party auditors. Didn’t mean to mislead. Auditors like PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers), Deloitte, KPMG, Cure53, Altius IT, VerSprite, Leviathan Security Group, MDSec.

            I wasn’t commenting on your word choice. I was saying that basically any independent auditor brought in will have a conflict of interest.
