I’m thinking about paying for a VPN, I currently don’t use one.

I’d like to use Mullvad but they don’t seem to have regional prices, while Proton does.

I wonder if Proton is still a reliable option, Proton is 60% cheaper in my country, probably because regional pricing (but I didn’t check if it’s really the case).

If anyone has any other suggestion I’d like to hear it.

    You certainly are “pretty much”… :-)

    So, what do you do, since you don’t trust your family? Seems pretty much suspect there… or pretty much paranoid.

    You are not safe against any of those you mention. Don’t you know what VPN does, and does not?

    You are pretty much NOT safe against large scale surveillance.

    Thanks for backing me up, with the last thing you wrote. And then please go read up on what VPN actually does, and does not.

        I always keep my secrets. :-)

        I have also linked to a couple of articles that touch on what I’m talking about…

          You were given a list of scenarios above that list where vpns are useful. It seems you’re the one who don’t know what you’re talking about.

            I was given a list where someone thought it would be useful… Now go read up on VPN, and you’ll see why that list was a “pretty much” wrong. ;-)
