It’s so difficult with so many options and all these bullshit “discounts”, coupled with the fact that different VPNs charge different prices based on what country you’re connecting from…
What is the cheapest functional VPN you’ve come across? Bonus points if it supports IPv6.
Imho, ‘cheapest’ and ‘useful’ are rarely a great combo for a VPN.
I mho, Mullvad is the best available, at 5€/month.
Close second, I would place Proton VPN.
Most of the others are just, well, I don’t care much about their existence.
Popular VPNs like Mullvad are banned in some authoritorian countries
That’s a good sign
Mullvad accepts cash in envelopes as payment. That’s a good sign they care about privacy.
Personnaly I would recommend pia for VPN torrenting, it’s not private but it’s good for this use case
Why do you say PIA isn’t private?
I’m not really an expert but it not known to be private, it’s almost like when using any mainstream VPNs
You are spreading disinformation.
PIA has stood up in court multiple times previously: https://torrentfreak.com/private-internet-access-no-logging-claims-proven-true-again-in-court-180606/.
So unless you have a reliable source, you are wrong.
I wouldn’t say that pia is the worst in term of “privacy” but you will agree with me that it’s not a recommended VPN when talking about his category. Maybe it’s just a really bad misconception and I’m sorry. But I would not really recommend this VPN if any.
(But you shouldn’t justify yourself by using a 2018 article, and even more when talking about “no logging”) Indeed, I’m wrong.
Yeah I never understood why people have this mindset.
Like looking for security, but then buying the cheapest option?
People have limited funds. It’s as simple as that.
