Also there is some large overlap in folks on the right and left that want/need to hide from some level of legal stuff (or at least adding some level of anonymity). Very unfortunate since the adblocking/malware blocking DNS they have is something I have on all my devices/browsers. Seems to work better for me than AdGuard's, but might give them another try (open to any recommendations for DNS providers with ad/malware blocks that people like). Real answer is that I need to finally setup a Pi Hole I guess.
Does anyone have recommendations for VPNs that are similar to Mullvad with no logging and servers that are RAM disk (and CEOs that are slightly less problematic atm if the article is true)? Mostly use VPN for torrents, with some uses for random times where I want to not have my real IP (normally when tor is just a brick wall of captchas or similar), or get around something being region locked.
While not a recommendation as I can't be sure of every CEOs takes and how they align to your values, I'd recommend giving VPS's a look.
There's plenty of guides out there to help you set one up, and you can be more confident with what's running on your system.
Could be worth a shot if you're having trouble locating a VPN you like.
Thanks for the advice. I have heard of VPSs but never looked into them. So at the very least this is a chance to learn about them.
