Hi privacy fans :) I’ve been a lurker in this lemmy-community for a while now and a “fan” of privacy for about 4 years now. Since 4 years, I’ve been on and of with VPNs. Sometimes I think I dont need one, sometimes I change my mind and start searching for one. The only one I tested (and used) so far, was Mullvad. But now reading about Surfshark, I was wondering, if there might be a better solution or if Mullvad is already the best solution for VPN. What I dont like about Surfshark is, that it is part of North Security and that it is not open-source (or at least I can find any info about that).
I hope you guy and gals have some suggestions or recommendation :)
Edit: wow… thanks for all of your fast replies. Coming from Reddit, I am used to only shitposting. Thanks for all your input. I will look into all the mentioned VPN hosters, thx 👍
sorry :) A DreamMaschine is the Firewall from Ubiquity :)
well the thing is, that after reading more into all the option, people gave here, I tougth the same thing. I am basicly only hiding my traffic from my ISP and move the information to another entity 🤷♂️ For work this might not make that much sense. All I do there is listen to music and check my back-account so nothing my comoany doesnt already know :D
and at home (after planing my threat model) a VPN does not really make that much sense, since I already use stuff like PiHole and Unbound for my whole network.
but thx for your input, it really made things clearer.
