It's funny, they think they can stop us

This looks like click bait. What does the actual article say? And what did CISA say about it. They are no bullshit when it comes to cyber security, so I imagine if they said something, it wasn't this stupid and it was just Forbes being dumb. Edit: i found the article, it just says dont use that free

Best VPN for iPhone and iPad to Change Location?

I’ve been using PIA myself, and it works great for Minecraft, my ping only goes up by about 10ms with the VPN on. I haven’t tested it with any other game yet, so I can’t say how it performs there.

What VPN is the best for torrenting ?

If you’re torrenting, always use a VPN with a no-logs policy, kill switch, and P2P support. I personally use BambooVPN because it’s built for torrenting: fast servers, strict no-logs, and leak protection. I have heard options like Nord, PIA, or Proton are solid too

UK households told to delete VPN after bank accounts emptied

The main complaint seems to be that it's owned by an Israeli businessman, and everything that implies in the current climate. I've switched to Proton VPN, as my PIA renewal was due.

I have 10TB worth of torrents, unlimited gigabit fiber internet and Surfshark VPN. How do I seed more?

Get proton, pia, airvpn, torguard or any other vpn that allows port forwarding. This is your limiting factor. Also look how to bind the vpn interface to qbittorrent from advanced settings.
