I agree fully, but I want to add that I would not suggest a freerange VPN.
Nothing is free on a free VPN - you pay with your data. It's always a question of trust using any type of VPN, but a free VPN is 100% going to sell collected information to ... whom ever.
Anything else. Yes. Save everything, leech everything. I hate streaming music... it makes no sense to me. A movie I watch once ... mh. maybe. Anything else. Load it. Save it. Hoard it.
ProtonVPN is an open source VPN with a free plan (medium speed and limited countries and a few settings). What do you think about that? Is that good enough for privacy?
Good call. I did not think of them. I guess their business model would be sustainable enough to provide this within limitation for free. I'm using their (paid) email service since they are the only ones to my knowledge not using AWS storage. (Also one of the reasons behind their quite high prices compared to others)
Is there a good /r/DataHoarder equivalent on Lemmy somewhere?
You should invite them to create a community here, or we can give them !datahoarder@lemmy.ml .
Sweet, thx.
Ask them to make an account here and ask directly, I don't like discussing by proxy.
I'm here.
Great to see you here!
Exciting, hopefully you get the community soon
