Just lol at blocking Cloudflare. They seriously think this will being down the number of pirates?

Thank you for the explanation. It would suck to put down money just to run a nym relay. I was interested in lokinet too but I wouldn’t want to spend more than a small VPS, really

Impressive, I didn’t know AirVPN accepted XMR. That greatly influences my decision about them vs PIA and others. I wanted a VPN which I could pay for anonymously and could torrent with (open ports)

I think PIA is decent for torrenting and Mullvad for privacy

Does TOR suffer from Sybil attacks? I admit I don’t know what that is, I’ll have to read about it

You’re right but if it’s something that sensitive I’d rather use TOR/I2P

Why do we care about their ownership if it’s proven that they don’t log and let you forward ports?

Ah I thought you meant during signup. I thought they were audited and provided proof that they don’t log anything? Is that fake?

Yes, Nym is new. Their mixnet has a lot of similarities with TOR.

What do you mean by “cost of maintaining a server”? I don’t think resource requirements are any different from TOR relays or exits.

It is possible in theory but I assumed they weren’t lying when they said over 800 nodes exist in their network.

Yeah maybe I should’ve put Nym as “of interest” rather than giving off the impression that it’s at the same level of reputation as Mullvad and IVPN

Over TOR?

Wait don’t they take crypto? Just fake your details

Mullvad, IVPN and Nym (not tested with audits yet, do not trust as much as the other two).

For clearnet browsing. PIA, AirVPN and Windscribe for torrenting. Windscribe and PIA are probably good for either but this is my classification, take it as you will

Can you link to their court hearing, specifically where they refused to provide logs?

Also, do they accept crypto?

You can seed public torrents with Proton? I thought they did something to curb that a few years back.

What is your opinion on Windscribe and PIA?

I didn’t think most of them allow port-forwarding

I’m interested in the VPN you use

Not bad. I’ll take that if it loads without javascript. I’d like my instance to have a web UI that I can use without JS
