My Surfshark subscription just ran out.
I found it a little sus when they removed their Russian endpoints after the Ukraine war started, so I don’t want to renew with them. If they’re going to bend the knee when it comes to US policies against Russia, where are they going to stand when the three-letter agencies ask for backdoors?
Open to any and all suggestions!
I won’t recommend anything because it’s impossible to guarantee that they don’t keep logs, but Privacy Guides (formerly privacytools.io, fairly well-respected AFAIK) recommends IVPN, Mullvad or ProtonVPN. To me the first two seem like the best options (ProtonVPN may be fine, but Proton’s been shady with their mail service)
I use IVPN and have never had issues. I don’t pirate a ton but I pirate enough for it to be worth it.
