@janl I try to get into threat modeling a bit, including framing their desired use (circumvent geolocation blocks) as a threat
I don’t have recommendations for VPN products; personally I’d have a hard time trusting them & have in the past warned people off of “free” VPNs with “you’re sending them all your network traffic, even if it’s all encrypted they still know roughly where it’s going. how do you think they’re making money?”
