Re: another biased list

because i would be biased to the half dozen i actually tried

i can confirm mullvad is great for privacy, but they are expensive.
(mullvad also uses a ridiculously higher encryption level than most)
for a single vpn user, ibvpn is just as private and the cheapest.
airvpn costs a bit more, is private, and allows for multiple vpns.

i've used all three for over a month, and did multiple p2p ubuntu
download tests, and all three have great availability and speed,
whether you use their clients or a generic openvpn install.

one provider I have used that made TF's list to be avoided is; TorrentPrivacy
their network performance is terrible, and their vpn client is a resource hog,
but since they only required an email address, i guess they are private

Question:
How does "only required an email address" imply privacy?
Isn't email the easiest way to track and link someone? If you didn't notice, most of the major free email providers require a lot of identification info to have an email nowadays.

i won't argue about which email address providers require what, but you may want to register with a vpn using dispostable.com
and prepay for a year. when the year has elapsed, just make a different dispostable, pay for that, etc.

i used dispostable to prepay a year with my hulu+ and netflix accounts - they have no idea who the i am and i get no spam

fortunately all my aol, hotmail, yahoo and gmail accounts are a decade old,
so when they demand my name and phone number, i just skip through it.

law enforcement can track people though a typical email, but if they already have your
public ip from your vpn login, then why go to the extra effort of tracking your emails
