Why do you keep linking to ycombinator and not the actual article?
Primary sauce and discussion too for context. I added the link in comment to the direct map
Torrenting is one thing but I wouldn’t be trusting a VPN to protect from anything to attract the heat of the law or government.

So what’s a good VPN these days? Torrent support not needed, just want a little privacy.
Mullvad is looking pretty good. You can even sign up for them through FirefoxVPN and then you’re also supporting Mozilla.
I personally use Mullvad and love it but it is not conducive to helping seed due to port forwarding being blocked.
Surfshark worked well for me for a long time. Lots of servers, works well for unlocking region blocked content and it’s pretty cheap. If you’re into full privacy, I recently moved to AirVPN who accept payment through crypto, so you don’t have to hand over user data except for an email (which doesn’t have to be a real one, you can delete it later).
This is an awesome visualisation, but the subtitle is the best part

Private Internet Access also out
Update: Thanks to @[email protected] below for clearing up the Proton confusion. I’m glad they can still be trusted.
Original message: Proton being out is devastating. Why does everything go to shit?
Like another person said they resolved to that here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/8ww4h2/protonvpn_and_tesonet/
I guess you decide if you lose the response or not but that was a long time ago as well. 🙂
That’s actually very interesting and reassuring. Thank you very much indeed for the insight–I can continue to use Proton in peace.
Greed.
Follow me for more obvious answers.
Proton responded to the Tesonet thing when that was a big issue, can’t remember what was said but I was satisfied enough with their response to continue using them
