And if you use one, are you happy with it?

I’m trying to get more into privacy and security and VPN is currently a struggle for me (and it seems also for some people in my social circle). It’s mostly cost, effectiveness, but also connection issues (not being able to connect to servers, not reaching websites, sometimes slower speed.

    No. You’re the only one I see implying there are no cases where data is private outside a VPN. Strictly speaking, if you need only the data across a connection to be private TLS is sufficient. Who is implying that is a complete threat model. You are building more and more strawmen against which to argue, but it really just sounds silly. I’m a professional that has been in the industry for decades, so your dick waving contest just doesn’t move me.

    Yes, a more complete risk analysis in many cases may show that you’d like the host one is reaching to also be private, but nobody is saying such a situation doesn’t exist; you’re barking at the moon.

      Hah, now you’re trying to bring your employment requirements into it. Imagine trying to dick wave about being an IT guy and throwing a tantrum because someone didn’t trust datacenters and want to hug and kiss them and hand over all of their family’s information to them. Your whole threat model is the guy trying to break into wifi. You are literally part of my own threat model. Law enforcement is an asset to you, not a part of a threat model. You are a computer mall cop. Yeah, people like you are exactly why nobody should ever be satisfied with TLS encryption 😂 incompetent shrill nincompoop

          You should try being correct about something. It’s much better than being angry. It’s like pissing on a guy who keeps drinking it, but complains about the flavor. If you could hold your own, you wouldn’t feel the need to make so many reply guy accounts to seem less alone. (It doesn’t work.)
