Seeing as those that fall for online scams, hacks, and breaches tend to be the elderly - I hope the punishment is as severe as it can get.

Which I hope they do, because they're scummy companies that shouldn't exist. But seeing as they do the people involved should be strung up

Makes sense to be fair. People only think of personal quick gains over long term generational games as has been shown time and time again

Mullvad are absolutely the GOAT for most people so that's fair. If you need port forwarding or other fringe uses then not so much but you can't go wrong with how well they stick by their guns and by who they choose to associate wi

Nah some VPNs allow you to rent a "residential" I.P which is shared by 5-15 people tops. They're rarely caught up or get flagged. This was in 2021 however so can't comment on the effectiveness rn

Top right my guy, with the same treatment as others. There's 100% a difference between a billion dollar corporate owner vs indies. As well as the amount of spend that goes into affiliate marketing.

IVPN are studs of the industry, no doubt. Very serious folk working hard on sticking to their privacy principles - rare today for sure!

I'm the author of the map and I'll get those updates on there now, the Mozilla node was actually hidden (as I need to update the corp info) and there's other corrections I'm making now. If you have any other suggestions

Yeah I made the original map and the updated version, updating the suggestions from the thread now so if you have any by all means let me know and I'll add them. I made this while in China: https://www.reddit.com/r&#x2F

Affiliate campaigns! So basically you'll see in review articles for everything a link with a ton of fluff and tracking in it. Say you want a new pair of headphones. You'll probably do something like this. 1. Search Google & lo

It depends on what you're doing but the ones in green to the top right are independents but IVACY recently have suffered an issue. If you have issues with the corporate owners you can avoid them by seeing who the parent is and who they

I used to find it worked here and there for me (Shanghai Telecom, 4/5G was OK. Home didn't work). Shadowsocks worked well for me but then got janky - ended up using a local VPN for gaming and Windscribe for general browsing. For 3

An update to the 2022 VPN affiliate relationship map. A handy reference for who is owned by who - including their status or whether they're actually part of a bigger corporation. The reference article for the map itself with key update

All the best to them. I was involved with a few Vice projects in 2011-2014 and it was honestly leadership that let them down. They have great talent but it's not easy in this day and age to run any kind of content site. Hope they pull

Honestly, it's going to be one of those things I champion now whenever it comes up in conversation haha. Very solid points.

This site does what it preaches but these seem a little off. Some of these I'd argue against but I'd also argue I'm not qualified to. Anyone care to chime in with their caveats to some of these?

With SEO it's entirely the case of Google being Google and just doing whatever they fancy. Core changes aren't often to the benefit of the scene these days. The little space that isn't paid ads is often useless these days. I

The only downside with DP is just devices that actually have that versus HDMI / Mini hdmi. This post though has made me annoyed as DP is clearly the better standard.

I don't personally see it so cynically but I get what you're trying to say. However it's being handled though I think the gesture is pretty nice in general. A ton of WeVPN customers were about to lose their money and for some

I've noticed community ran ISPs are on the rise. It would be great to see a boom like in the 90s as some ISPs have such a monopoly

Yeah seems to be the case. Express VPN's parent corp acquired CyberGhost, Zenmate, Private Internet access over the last few years. They also paid as much as several of these put together for the marketing/affiliate websites Webse
