Most people don't understand VPNs. They use them for vague notions of privacy or to bypass restrictions.

>>108271938
A good vpn is expected to disassociate the users identity and their ip.

>>108271938
Because your ISP doesn't know what website you visit and the website doesn't have your IP as a unique identifier (but may have others that can identify you depending on how you use the web).

Your ISP knows you are hiding stuff. They know what VPN you are using at a given time. The website treats you as a bot.

Privacy without stealth is useless.

It's like everyone knows you are the one in the toilet and all the loud farting sounds are coming from you. But it's okay because you have privacy, they don't see you shitting.

>>108272114
On top of all of these you are "trusting" your VPN provider with your identity.

>>108272114
>But it's okay because you have privacy, they don't see you shitting.
So when you're at a public toilet you just keep the door wide open?

>>108272143
Oh yeah just focus on the analogy and make jokes.

VPN is useless.

Which isn't an issue in non authoritarian shitholes and the simple truth regarding authoritarianism is there are no technological solutions to it unless you count propelling a small projectile at high speeds as a technological solution.

Nice false analogy.
With a VPN everyone knows I'm at home, but nobody knows what the fuck I'm doing or where I'm doing it at.
Maybe I'm jerking off in my room? Maybe I'm taking a shit? Maybe I'm asleep? Maybe I died in my sleep and am now a rotting corpse? Nobody knows, the door is locked, the windows are closed and I have walls not made out of glass.

Yet here you are, arguing that having a house is worthless because people can see you going into it.
I will not live in the pod, nor will I drop my VPN, shlomo.

1. You are trusting the VPN company with your information.
2. The website you are visiting will spam you with captchas every 10 minutes. They know you are not normal.
3. Your ISP too knows that "you are not normal" and they have the information of you connecting to a specific VPN brand at a specific time. You could be the only one in your town doing that at a given time.

And you call all of this "having privacy."

You've just became the black sheep on the internet plus the VPN company still knows your real IP and the sites you are visiting.

>>108272240
So what you're saying is that we have to convince more people to use VPNs to make it the norm? Sounds good to me.

>>108271938
>my ISP knows i am using a vpn, and my torrent tracker knows I'm connecting to it via a VPN
why do you think this is not worth $2/m?

>sending a letter in a closed envelope is useless because the mail office knows you're keeping secrets

>>108272350
LOL NO. With HTTPS you already have the closed envelope, plus you have stuff like DNS-over-HTTPS / TLS, SecureDNS etc.

Using VPN on top of these just screams that you are doing something suspicious.

Man, some threads are just depressingly sloppy.

>>108271938
VPNs are puppeted by the feds, please understand.

>>108272049
they log everything

>>108271938
Real talk is it possible to use a VPN and Tor simultaneously?

>>108272382
well suspicious activity and evidenced activity aren't the same thing, so it can scream all it likes, maybe I just want to research fringe politics without alerting intelligence agencies or look up treatments for an illness without informing insurers

>>108272666
yes, but Tor is much more suspicious to your ISP than a VPN. as much as people itt go on about VPN looking suspicious, VPNs are at least somewhat used by normies. its almost a meme how much they get shilled on normie youtube channels. while Tor is the opposite of normie.

there are arguments for VPN -> Tor and vice versa. if you want to hide Tor usage from your ISP, VPN -> Tor. If you want to hide your real IP from your VPN provider, Tor -> VPN. there's nothing illegal about using Tor in and of itself.

>>108273004
gtk anon. Yeah my idea was using VPN -> Tor.
God knows if VPN -> Tor -> VPN is possible though it'd make stuff incredibly hard to track,

>>108273061
I've done VPN -> Tor with ProtonVPN which is free, works fine, aside from the occasional spotty Proton connection (probably due to being on the free tier). Never tried Tor -> VPN.

>>108271938
the usecase for torrenting over a vpn is a very good one
some vpn providers have proven through third party audits and court cases that they don't have logs. that number is unfortunately shrinking and i believe in the future we will see vpns targeted more than they already have been

Remember when they caught that kid that mailed in bomb threat to his school or something using Tor because well they know he was on Tor and they know the bomb threat came from someone using Tor? It seems like most of /g/ is that kid lmaooooo

>>108271938
I prefer my ISP knowing I'm connectning to a VPN instead of a niche fetish domain or wrongthink sites

>>108272623
good vpn's are RAM only so nothing is permanently stored

>>108272114
Plausible deniability.

>Undo the jew by paying for an unnecessary service

Using a VPN is a red flag.

VPNs are just a way to tie your web browsing to what ever credit card or bitcoin wallet you used to pay for it.

>>108274606
This anon gets it

>>108272049
Are these good VPNs with us right now?

proxy chains are more secure.

Privacy without stealth is useless.

Man.

>>108271938
I'm from the UK, and I only use a VPN so I can watch porn. Unless there's something blocked in your country, using a VPN is useless.

>>108271938
The point of a VPN is two things: bypassing georestrictions and concealing insecure forms of traffic (read: bittorrent) from your ISP who would otherwise send you angry letters.

>>108272054
Nowadays, a VPN is essentially useless for web traffic because everything is behind cloudflare and people use DoH so they can't snoop DNS requests, meaning all your ISP could possibly know is "this guy sure is downloading a lot of data from cloudflare."
You should frankly be more worried about cloudflare than your ISP.

>>108273061
VPN -> tor -> VPN is probably no good latency-wise, you can't tunnel UDP over tor properly which would necessitate using TCP for the second VPN. Which is going to be unbearably slow. This is the same problem as torrenting over tor fundamentally.

>>108277410
False analogy.

>>108278009
Isn't DPI circumvention enough?

>>108278074
"MUH PRIVACY" ads everywhere

>>108278095
DoH / DoT and DNSSEC won't give you privacy. You need encrypted sni (now called ech) but ech requires the website's server to adopt it. If the website hasn't set up ech then your browser is forced to send the sni in plain text.

>>108278245
Would you mind explaining why you think it's a false analogy?

is op retarded? yes, they can see you're using a vpn. what they can't see is what you're doing in it.

>>108272114
I'd rather hand my shit over to some random VPN company than let some gay ass isp show up and tell me that I cant do this or can't do that.
