We use VPN
What vpn do you use?
Just Proton. Free.
@bacon @StudChud be careful with Proton. I've now seen several accounts of people having issues with Proton VPN then getting their entire Proton suite locked and no recourse: as bad as Google. Also they have autopayment without notification which some people will definitely take issue with.
This is good to be aware of
I donβt know a lot about this stuff
Yeah I am only using it free for when I access 18+ things. Not gonna let them keep any data.
@bacon very sensible!
What kind of 18+ things πΏ
We all know bacon enjoys lingering shots of rotating rotisserie chickens

I bet the chickens are naked too
Naked for Saetan
Moist and glistening
Cosmic horror
VPN would get me banned or shadowbanned from socmed but I want to look into VPN for general use anyway.
The free ones have a reputation for being dodgy so Iβm wondering about the free one included with the Opera browser?
I use Brave browser when also has a VPN option and lots of inbuilt "do not track" privacy settings. I've not used the VPN much but just adding it as an option for yiu
Iβll look into it, thanks
nah I live in PIA and haven't had issues
Ohh I need to look into that
