VPN Suggestion needed

VPN
1

I had a lifetime Celo subscription and used it for the past 7 years. well it ends today (Lifetime heh) and I will need a new one for my haugene/transmission-openvpn:dev container. I could go month to month or yearly with Celo and they gave me a 60% off code so the next year would only be $23.20 USD + Tax

Suggestions? Looking for OK speeds and no logging. OVPN support would be best as thats primarily how the container establishes connection.

​

Should I just stick with celo for the next year at that low price point?

Mullvad or ProtonVPN. Mullvad is really cheap, but I’ve noticed a lot of services are blocked (like pretty much every streaming service). If youre just using it to torrent, that shouldn’t be a problem though, and they allow port forwarding.

If you want more out of your product, ProtonVPN will also get you access to ProtonMail and ProtonCalendar. I haven’t noticed anything being blocked (netflix, hulu, Disney all work), they also do port forwarding

How would you know about he “no logging” part? I think everyone claims that, but you just take their word for it, right?

4

ProtonVpn works well for me

5

Id Make own with wireguard. You cant thrust any company because of laws. No logging is bullshit and some sells your data. There is law to have atleast in EU that VPN provaiders must give data to goverment of needed

6

I’ve used PIA for many years and never have had a problem: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/

7

I use pritunl. hosted at home and no limitations. free license as well - they have enterprise but mostly just support

8

Try Windscribe
Lots of pricing options, good speeds, great support, active on Reddit /r/Windscribe (both users and ws people)

9

Makes me questioning why no one has Said surfshark or nordvpn. For example. They advetise alot but no one says. I used VPN and do not remember The name but it was not worht it an ai dont know how much my data was sold

Enjoy a vpn while you still can and please join the fight to stop our government from outlawing their usage https://reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/127cj24/the_bipartisan_restrict_act_tiktok_ban/

The best way that I know of is to look for companies that have gone to court and had nothing to give up

This is asking for trouble, you’ll have an IP that directly implicates you instead of mixing with a ton of other people. In this case, selfhosted as a VPS is a really bad idea, along with the fact that it likely will be more expensive for quality speed at larger bandwidths and your vps providers will for sure be logging a lot of traffic regardless.

At the end of the day, paying for unlimited traffic from a VPN service is probably your best bet. Or just move away from torrents.

13

wireguard and all its flavors present a problem, I need the data to ingress and egress somewhere for the torrents. I’ve been using a NL location for the VPN to download with. as they are torrent safe

14

They are on my short list :ok_hand:t2:

15

NordVPN don’t support port forwarding for torrenting though :frowning:

16

They were purchased about 2 or 3 years ago… zero trust with PIA. The buyer isn’t a “known good”… risk isn’t worth it.

17

Your isp will still know what you do. Although the connection between the clients and the self hosted VPN is encrypted, the connection between the VPN server and the isp is not.

Also torrent trackers can still pinpoint your home public IP.

18

Surfshark and AirVPN here. No problem with both for years.

19

I agree most. But you give your ip to VPN which IS regulated in most cases to track you down. So VPS is best when no illegal things. It is absolutely fine to watch something that is not lisenced to your country

And i cant think any legal torrents that is Linux distros or games when the IP is known, but on case like Mario they still have that IP. Not address but rights to it . Just little different
