My team built a VPN at Google. Summary of my advice on VPNs:
1) Never ever use a free VPN.
2) Be wary of any influencer-marketed VPNs with big discounts. Up to you but I wouldn’t use Nord/Express/etc based in Lithuania/Cyprus/Panama.
3) Mullvad is the best consumer VPN and it’s not even close. (more below)

I think @ProtonPrivacy should publish a detailed transparency report about the whole @phrack thing. If it really was ToS then it would be immediately clear.

There ya go, @phrack
Government complained. Proton complied because they're a legal company and have to remain in compliance.

I made my @AlgoVPN over a year ago in Octoberish 2021. I can't recommend it enough. If you have an AWS account and can use AWS somewhat decently, you can have a nice private VPN with adblocking, if you don't need Tor. It's fast and reasonably private, and doesn't get flagged.

VPNs aren't as essential to security as they claim. Here's what they can't do trib.al/oABZ3aI

Thought I was really clever setting up an Algo server in a foreign country to bypass Geo restrictions to watch a show.
Forgot the show might not have English subtitles if it's streaming in its native country...
Afterwards, find that it's already on YouTube with English subs 🤦🏻♂️

Great list @rnjn.
One addition to this... consider @AlgoVPN which is an open-source project - a bunch of ansible scripts - that sets up a private VPN on any cloud just for you. github.com/trailofbits/algo

Now really is the time to find out which VPN providers are telling the truth when they say they don't log anything.

To me, this is a massive story that just flew under the radar. The consolidation of commercial VPNs under a single shady banner alone should be cause for alarm, worse yet when they have a reputation for malware distribution.

Questions to ask to determine if a VPN is a great match for you:
1. Do I have elevated threat model?
2. Do I trust VPN over ISP to handle data of which sites I use?
3. Are sites I navigate to a secret for me?
Thanks @josephfcox @motherboard for discussing. vice.com/en/article/xgxnwk/y…

The at least until recently CIO of big VPN ExpressVPN is one of the three former U.S. intelligence operatives who agreed today not to fight charges they illegally helped UAE hack people. Kind of makes you think.

Set up my own VPN server in the cloud today, thanks to Algo by @trailofbits . Impressed by how easy it was to set up, and how quickly it connects! github.com/trailofbits/algo

I suggest @AlgoVPN , simple setup and you own it rather than trusting someone whom you can't control or verify

i'm so happy that the @algovpn project exists. i was able to quickly spin up @wireguardvpn VPNs for my small biz clients, enabling their employees to work from home but still access their on-prem services. #teleworking #OpenSource
