And if you use one, are you happy with it?

I’m trying to get more into privacy and security and VPN is currently a struggle for me (and it seems also for some people in my social circle). It’s mostly cost, effectiveness, but also connection issues (not being able to connect to servers, not reaching websites, sometimes slower speed.

    I use

    • ProtonVPN mostly to bypass geoblocking or when specific Torrent trackers demand VPNs
    • WireGuard self-hosted mostly to reach own devices outside my LAN
    • TailScale also for self-hosting access but I pretty much migrated everything to WG
    • ssh tunneling (arguably not VPN but still convenient)

    I also use split tunneling, inclusive (e.g. everything but Firefox) or exclusive (e.g. only qbittorrent) whenever I don’t want to tunnel all my traffic.
