    Been on windscribe for 2 or 3 years now and been quite happy with them. Fuck those Dutch oven bitch boys for trying to stupidly jack with their server. Thing has probably got like a billion dollars worth of ram inside it.

        It’s not " good vs bad" for me, it’s a “better vs worse”. And for them: yes, European date centers as few are preferable at this point in time from my current knowledge.

            Haha that was an auto correct fuck up - I agree with you!

            It was supposed to be “are preferable” - that’s what I meant with the first sentence: There must still be effective encryption in the wild if some… elements fight so hard to kill it.
