    If you’re of the few people on earth to care enough and knows enough to set it’s own vpn, sure. but otherwise, NordVPN gonna still sponsor youtubers and lure people into a false sense of privacy.

      Strps to set up my own VPN:

      1. Navigate to my router’s configuration page
      2. Select Configure VPN server
      3. Click Generate Certificate button
      4. Download certificate
      5. Enable VPN networking on my device
      6. Import downloaded certificate

      It’s that simple. If you don’t have your own firewall, you can just deploy Tailscale on all devices you want to be able to communicate with each other, which uses Wireguard under the hood.

        As someone who manages a tailscale network at my work…I just want to point out that tailscale is a tiny bit more complicated than just downloading and installing. Not much but…

        That said the ability to automate wireguard connections is wonderful and everyone should check it out.

        I don’t have any evidence to the contrary, but in general it’s suspicious when a company markets features like that so hard when there’s no reliable way an outsider can verify that the claim is accurate (still)

          I remember this, and a quick google corroborates, that they’ve had 3 independent 3rd party audits and have been verified each time as not keeping activity logs. I think they’re one of the good ones.
