No, I don't trust anyone with my data.

 

[RedViking]

For its purpose. Yes.

 

[dualmeister]

Oh no. Are the braai pictures on my phone safe?

 

[RedViking]

Curious about that purpose and the VPN you use?

Use it to connect to NZ websites and portals as South Africa is on their block list.

Used it for Netflix at some stage to access some titles that were blocked in SA.


If you concerned about Torrents, best to trust your ISP.

Yes. Spoke with the CEO numerous times before and I love their memes and humour.

Awesome! Hope they keep it updated and working as it should.

Hell no. If you want a bit of privacy, configure and use TOR. A VPN is practically useless when it comes to a determined investigator.

Doubt it they (Crossrider) dabbled in adware and browser hijacking before they changed their name to Kape https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomas...m-israel-unit-8200-to-ad-men/?sh=d27889a26e29

Tor can't unblock streaming for me.

Haven't had an issue for years though.

I have Firefox tunneling through the VPN only. And only use it to access the international websites. Works pretty well.

Not really sure what people want to use a VPN for other than accessing geo restricted websites.

Systemwide adblocking. Well that was before I got a proper DNS service. Also connecting to public wifi networks.
