Pointing people to reddit, as if that's an alternative. When a VPN provider makes such bad choices it's tempting to imagine that the decision was influenced by somebody who wants to secretly get the message out that the company is no longer to be trusted, because it's hard to see any other logic in it.

I'm searching for a safe and cheap alternative for my own domain, but it's hard! And I don't want to give money to American companies.

Sad, but I'm largely indifferent to this.

I feel like those resources are about to get even more limited.

Any alternative free VPN's

Nothing good is free.

I've been pretty happy with PIA.

If you aren't the customer, you are for sure the product. Even then, sometimes you are both.

This might sound crazy but this is way worse to me than the CEO simping for orange man. At least for Trump he has a semi plausible excuse.

Reposting stuff on Mastodon or Bluesky barely requires any additional effort. And I cannot think of a good reason to close abandon the free publicity when they already have it set up.

And I’d have thought the potential customers segment are exactly the Mastodon users.
