Seems that the Swiss legislature may pass a law requiring ProtonVPN to start banning certain domains from being access by French users (mostly illegal sports streaming sites)

For those using ProtonVPN, is the writing on the wall?

    Just more confirmation that centralized VPNs, and therefore basically all VPNs most people use, are doomed to fail in their purpose, and are sometimes worse than no VPN.

      Many sites got VPN IP list and just ban them. It’s more and more difficult with restrictions increasing subsequently.

        i would say you want to route through as many jurisdictions as you feasibly can. For example, US investigators arent going to get any cooperation from Iran or North Korea; any trail that crosses into their borders is going to be a dead end for their investigation.

          I like my Internet to work at at least a decent speed lol I’ll often go through 2 countries when I’m doing specific tasks but generally I just do 1 on a daily basis
