    Anybody know of a VPN service that

    • Allows port forwarding (i.e. you can run a bittorrent client and accept incoming connections)
    • Allows connections using the Wireguard protocol
    • Doesn’t have Israeli ownership
    • Isn’t owned by fascists
    • Has exit nodes around the world, with a decent number of options and good speeds

    So far, the ones with major problems are:

    • Mullvad is out because of pro-Fascist ownership.
    • CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, ZenMate, ExpressVPN, and Intego are owned by Kape Technologies which is Israeli

        I’ve heard of them, but I don’t know much about them.

        As for IVPN:

        IVPN previously supported port forwarding, but removed the option in June 2023. Missing this feature could negatively impact certain applications, especially peer-to-peer applications like torrent clients

          Bad? Nothing really that I’ve experienced (because I have no experience) I just like joking about the pervasivenesss of their ads. They’re the VPN Shen Yun, so I keep expecting to hear about them being associated with a cult.

      ProtonVPN qualifies in my book under these guidelines, but different people are more or less stringent with what they’ll tolerate on the fourth requirement you specified.

        njalla censors queer voices and holds their DNS hostage for it. njalla is not to be trusted.

        i cannot comment further on the specifics here sadly but I will never give njalla a single fucking penny, personally

              I do not see a reason you could not discuss this. However, am not asking you to discuss it. I am asking for a source.

              If you cannot back up your claims or provide a source which can, I have to disregard your post as slander. I don’t want to do that if you are being honest. I am only asking for intellectual responsibility on your part.

      When you smell something bad when you’re next to someone, it’s probably them.

        When you smell some bombs all around you, it’s probably Trump and Netanyahu

        Completed the rhyme for you 😉
