With Mullvad recently removing port forwarding from their capabilities, many are on the search for a new VPN. What is Burggit’s favorite VPN?

    Doesn’t hosting your own personal VPN for that purpose also eliminate most plausible deniability as well? If you can know there’s only a single user browsing on a given IP address that makes correlation attacks a lot easier IMO.

      That’s definitely fair, but the host I’m using says that they don’t obey DMCA takedown notices right on their front page and anyone hosting anything somewhat sketchy recommends them on lowendbox. They’re based in Moldova, a former Soviet country. So they really have no reason to cooperate with feds.

      I figure I’m not high up on anyone’s list since torrent swarms are full of IP addresses and any law firm would rather go after anyone based in the US rather than get some federal officials to do an international subpoena for just one guy.

      I’d guess correlation attacks rise above your average IP holder’s (and their attack dogs’) level of influence honestly. Would require cooperation with big tech to get a correlation and bank on you actually using big tech sites with personally identifiable information.

        Yeah, I’m not doing anything super illegal like unauthorized pentesting. Or doing nmap scans of random servers without other’s permission. Just merely downloading movies, TV shows, and anime.
