    I trust Mullvad and Proton at this point for VPNs, nobody else.

    Any reason you can state not to use AirVPN? I switched to them from Mullvad because they support port forwarding. So far I’ve been very happy with their service.

    Having ads and sponsors blocked I can’t be 100% sure, but I don’t think they advertise at all. I only tried them because of a recommendation on Lemmy. Their site design is very old school which really says “run by nerds and not marketers” to me.

      I do not know anything about AirVPN specifically.

      Proton does provide port forwarding these days FYI.

      I think “run by nerds not marketers” is a good thing … though I don’t know if a site looking old really means it’s run by nerds lol

        Yeah I know, but have you seen their site? It’s like an old 90s static HTML page. The main thing I see is that it’s clearly not a glossy “marketing first” service. They’re surviving off of their actual product.

          Yeah that’s fair. It can definitely go both ways though. Like your sign over your shop can look old because you’re still getting growth/a really nice cash flow without updating the sign or it can look old because you stopped caring a long time ago and you’re just milking what you can from the remaining customers.

          I had a friend who’s ISP was very much in the latter category about a decade ago, charging like $90/mo for 10Mbps (IIRC with a data cap).
