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.

    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.

      What independent agencies? Are they not-for-profits or are they paid by the VPN provider?

        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.
