This Gameranx video has a NordVPN sponsorship for a lower rate and 4 free months - it's pretty dang affordable. If you can afford to get that, I'd definitely do that!

Nord vpn sucks ass
I'm curious to hear why you think that, I've been using it for a year and it's better than ExpressVPN by a long-shot. Very few connectivity problems either and it has a Linux client....
Because there are VPN's that dont log your activity such as protonVPN and mulvad.
Neither does Nord: https://support.nordvpn.com/General-info/Features/1047407432/Do-you-store-any-logs.htm
Well, they comply with law enforcment.

Even in that article it says the only info they can provide (due to the no-logging) is payment info and email address.
If you're doing something illegal and use a credit card attached to your name to do it, Nord is going to hand over your credit card info and they'll know you did it through their VPN.
Likewise, if you do something illegal with their VPN and use your personal email, same thing.
That being said, I don't personally use the VPN for anything illegal. If you do, I suppose you should probably either self-host or just Mull, but in my case I like Nord's Killswitch and Mull's is notorious for dropping off.
I think you still dont get it. Most poeple in this community pirate, which is illegal in most contries.
Most people here want privacy, meaning a vpn that doesnt give away payment info, and other PII. Because of that, there are very few safe vpn's out there.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
