So, /g/. What's the best VPN? How easy is it to set one

NordVPN
If you have to ask how easy it is, you didn't look it up.

are free VPNs really all honeypots that are not even safe to torrent movies with? do copyright kikes really go through the trouble of setting up a VPN service just to catch people torrenting their movies? does anyone here actually know someone that got a letter from ISP about something they torrented through a free VPN?

Is ExpressVPN any good?

>>60157830
I got one but it was my fault.

Always enable the Killswitch feature!

u wat

I'm about to buy a subscription to SecureVPN.to

>>60156628
I use AirVPN. It occasionally dips in speed, but its OK because I'm not autistic. Setting it up w/o a program was pretty damn easy; generate a config file, the run "openssh config_file".

>>60156628
Anyone use or have experience with Opera's VPN?

>>60158790
not safe enough to be really secure

>>60158790
It works for basic things like accessing ISP blocked pages but I wouldn't trust it for general privacy.

>>60158547
you happy with it? was thinking about getting airvpn

>>60157830
>are free VPNs really all honeypots
no but YOU'RE definitely being used if you use "free" VPN

>>60156628
go for PIA vpn, it's cheap, fast, no logs, servers around the world, multiple connections allowed ...

How safe is torrenting with a killswitch?

Here you get screwed over in a second when you`re torrenting naked

>>60159600
configure your firewall as a killswitch, dont rely on an apps in-built one

Not that I am too greedy to pay for a good VPN, but riddle me this: a free VPN makes money by luring you in and fucking you over by providing your data to everyone. Why would a VPN I pay for not just do the same? It's not like people can really find out if their VPN fucks them.

BTW what is an advantage of using a VPN aside from torrenting in 3rd world countries where you can get sued (eg Germany)? People who want security use Tor and even that is compromised now

I'm saying I'm not German, not that I don't live in Germany. I know two people who paid upwards of 600€ for torrenting here lol. Also this is probably the only country in the world where police will break down your door for not paying €17/MONTH for a propaganda channel. Even in fucking China the propaganda is at least free

>>60160206
I'm just citing the last link from the article. IDK about any VPN logs or not, and if the story is true it's something for sure. But posting a link that says "btw we get paid to shill for PIA" at the bottom doesn't make it believable at all

Most of the time it's even higher. I knew one guy who seriously paid 1500€
And I got a few letters as well, didn't paid anything of course, but the case is still open.

>just don't do anything you fag
Here in germany it works that you HAVE to reply to such notices, or you're open to a real lawsuit.

>>60159130
not talking about shit like Hola, I'm talking about VPNs using standard protocols like PPTP that don't require installing any software, or OpenVPN.

>>60160436
why would you want, that?

>>60160436
PPTP is insecure as fuck dude, use openvpn

FOR EVERYONE USING PIA:

If you don't use their software to use PIA, your IPv6 is leaking.

>>60160518

openvpn?

>>60160539
If you use anything than the "official" client provided by PIA, your IPv6 is leaking.

So in other words: If you don't use their "official" client, you're as protected as if you wouldn't use PIA VPN at all.

Google the matter or check the leak yourself, I couldn't believe it but sadly, it's true.

pia supports organisations, campaigns and events that align with their principles through tax deductible donations and financial support (sponsorships), you can google yourself to find out who

>>60160698
It's just about replying in general.

If you get such a notice you usually reply with a "Unterlassungserklärung", where you basically say "OKAY I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING AND WILL NOT DO IT OK BYE", it's important to not aknowledge that you did something. Usually nothing happens after that since they can just sue another 10000 torrent users and someone eventually just pays the ~900€. However it can happen that you find yourself in a real lawsuit. Even with a VPN or Private Trackers it's just not worth the extreme risk for me. I already payed around 600€ for lawyers to sort it out a year ago since I didn't knew anything about it or that I can just do the replies easily myself

>>60161026
what did you get busted for m8? also did you use a vpn during that time?

>>60159630
This. Your VPN should never leak if you have configured your firewall correctly.

>>60160467
torrenting

>>60160469
insecure in what way, it will leak my real IP to the torrent tracker? or just open a security hole that the VPN provider could potentially send me malware through?

>>60161069
For two movies which I haven't even finished downloading. 900€ for EACH movie you get caught is the norm.

I did used a VPN, but haven't enabled a killswitch, so when it disconnected it just continued torrenting via the naked IP. Around 30 days later I got the two letters with the exact same IP adress and timestamp when that happened. Probably because it was a popular torrent, some are even confirmed german honeypots just for grabbing german IP adresses.

>just use private trackers
There even were cases where someone got sued when using private trackers (or those people claimed to do so)


So be super careful and don't forget the killswitch

>>60159124

I'm happy with it.

I didn't take time to read all the responses in this thread, but hide.me VPN is the best and safest one I've found. Reasonably priced too. Any other answer is cia niggers.

>>60161140
>insecure in what way, it will leak my real IP to the torrent tracker? or just open a security hole that the VPN provider could potentially send me malware through?
Neither, it's just that it's crackable by a determined MitM. If enough traffic is captured, it becomes possible to determine the key, something like that. You don't use it for state secrets but it's generally ok otherwise.

>>60161140
>insecure in what way
Oh yeah, it has a fixed port too so it's trivial to block.

OpenVPN can be detected by packet analysis too though and that gets blocked pretty easily in China.

>>60161212
this
if you're torrenting it'll do the job for you
but the nsa almost certainly decrypts pptp encrypted communications as standard in 2000+17

>>60161233
obfsproxy can be used to obfuscate traffic so that it becomes unrecognizable hence bypassing the great firewall

Why would someone provide a VPN service for free if there's nothing in it for them? The way they make money is by selling your info. It makes no sense for someone to make a "free" VPN service without exploiting the users. It'd be a huge waste of money.

>>60161292
That's why you only use free VPNs to ban evade and browse firewall-blocked websites.

>>60161260
>obfsproxy can be used to obfuscate traffic so that it becomes unrecognizable hence bypassing the great firewall
I'll have to look into it. Recently, they've begun throttling my ssh socks proxy I was using, maybe because traffic analysis makes it look like I'm using it for http (which I am) or maybe just because it's a long lived encrypted connection.

If it's the latter, what can obfsproxy do?

>>60161260
most vpn's provide obfsproxy option i believe

>>60161292

if you're fortunate enough to live in a place where you can get a ~1 Gb/s connection for ~$20/month, ration that out at 1 Mb/s per user, you've easily got at least 2 or 3 thousand users forced to visit your website every day or two and view advertisements every time you change the VPN password which should be enough to pay the $20/month, you also accept donations and use the huge popularity of your free service to sell a much faster and more convenient VPN connection for $8/month without paying for advertisements/torrentfreak shilling for your service.

of course there's no way to know they're not selling your info for extra profit, just like with paid VPNs.

>>60156628
what is the best bang for your buck VPN?

currently debating between PIA and Nord. anyone here who tried both?

No logs my ass.

PIA might very well be an GCHQ honeypot and be passing other agencies data under the hood while claiming no-logs to appear more attractive.

This data is just too good not to be snooped on.

I bet no VPN service is allowed to operate unless collaborating with the 5 eyes. Remember lavabit.

does anyone know of good vpn's to run in a freenas jail? Most of the ones ive seen just give you a list of .ovpn files and not enough info to set up proper firewall rules

>>60157830
I use SoftEther VPN, its free, and chinks dont tell your ISP that you're torrenting or going on weird sites

is there a openvpn guide for retards?I dunno where to start

I have PIA, and I am worried that they secretly keep logs. What are the chances? It's fucking US based.
My issue with that court case is that they worked together for that, making it seem that they really didn't keep logs.
