About time to invest in a VPN
-
Yet another republican tax increase.

Depends on how much other media you consume. If you're forced to get a VPN anyway I bet you're more likely to start looking into pirating everything else, too
-
With Meta officially saying that leeching is totally okay as long as you're not seeding, go for it.
-
But you should totally seed and be a good citizen though.

Eh, I see it as a necessity in the modern age, it's politically agnostic for me. I run a full time VPN as a matter of privacy and security.
-
VPN doesn't really do anything for security, and it only really gives you privacy from your ISP. They're very much over-marketed by VPN companies.
-
It absolutely does provide security on a public WiFi network.
-
Not really.
If your browser is properly configured, it'll recognize a MITM attack, so you'll know if your traffic is properly encrypted because it checks root certs against a known good set. The only concern is domain name leakage (both from DNS and SNI), but that's a privacy thing, not a security thing. DoH fixes the DNS issue, so consider that for a low hanging fruit privacy win.
If you're accessing things outside a browser... don't do that on public WiFi unless you can confirm it verifies certificates.

I spun up OpenVPN on a Digital Ocean droplet 7-years ago. LOL, no longer have any idea how it works, but it's $6/mo. and never dies. 🏴☠️
-
There have been a number of (I'll admit, not high-risk) security updates since then.
-
Yeah, keep up on those.
I use a Hetzner VPS ($5, ha!) as a VPN and run updates every month or two. It only takes a minute and you could automate it if you want.

Yeah and just torrent porn or use those debrid services. Stop giving these sites that bend the knee traffic.
-
Don't bend the knee when you want to choke the chicken

What if I just want to choke my monkey?
