How do other people hide their IP and use Tailscale without Mullvad?
You can make an exit node somewhere and have that exit node go through a commercial VPN at the router level. IDK why you wouldnt just use the Mullvad addon though. Its simple and cheap. I have a sub for the add on and PIA. I dont even bother with PIA, MUllvad is just better.

Paid Battle Pass & Monthly situation
I mean the reality is that with a VPN you're gonna have to pay. A lot of them have bulk deals. I pay $40 for 3 years of PIA, works well for me.

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHO DREW THIS? ðŸ˜
...That's a virus. Your phone didn't tell you to download it; the website did. Please, for the love of WHATEVER GOD YOU BELIEVE IN, if a website tells you to download a VPN DON'T. DO NOT DO IT. Please!!! I beg!!!! Use AirVPN, Mullvad, Proton, or Private Internet Access (PIA). All are paid. Alternati

Best VPN Service Available Right Now?
Damn, this sucks to hear. I have been using PIA for like 14 years. Its so damn cheap when you stack the discounts and buy multiyear. Its like $2 a month. Not looking forward to paying 3-4x for a new VPN.

Using Nicotine+ for awhile now...
Personally, I would never do ANY file sharing without the use of a VPN. I've used PIA for over a decade. They may be slower than others (though I had poor performance with Proton as well), but they are by far the most economical. Don't think you can't be traced just because you're using SS/N+.

Combien d’abonnements mensuels avez-vous?
Je suis loin d'être un expert mais j'ai PIA et j'ai aucun problème avec ma configuration. Selon ce que je lis, NordVPN est bien apprécié. Mullvad serait un des meilleurs, mais c'est plus cher et lorsque je magasinais pour ça, le prix était relativement élevé.

The iOS app looks SO GOOD
People always say you're safe without vpn. But for a few extra £ why chance it. Think of all those people that used encro chat for years thinking they where safe then for the french to hack it and them all to get into trouble. Now I know the level of bad those guys did Vs pirating is a different lev

Best VPN
PIA was my first VPN but I jumped ship when they got bought by Kape. Now I'm on Surfshark, it's owned by the same company as Nord VPN and it's costing me $2.50 a month or something.

Out of the ones you listed, proton is probably the best. I use PIA VPN and am happy with it.
