Hakim recently promoted Atlas VPN in one of his videos. If you have tried it, what has been your experience with it? (lemmygrad.ml)

It is 1.85 dollars a month if one pays for 3 years. I am looking into ways of saving money so I was thinking into switching. However, I am a bit worried since 3 years ago I did the same with Nord VPN and it is sooo buggy. It rarely ever works for me. I had to switch to ProtonVPN after paying for 3 years for Nord ๐Ÿ’€.

What benefit do you believe a VPN provides for you? Are you using it to fake your location for content access or do you believe that the vpn is improving your privacy somehow?

    What's funny to me is your username is the name of a (maybe defunct, not sure) VPN service. It was known to be shitty and shady.

    Go with a company at least not located in the US. Avoid PIA, they were bought by a shady company. The ones the piracy community tends to trust would be: ProtonVPN, Mullvad, IVPN, AirVPN. Be warned Mullvad recently dropped port forwarding which really hurts torrenting connectivity and speeds. I would try for a provider that continues to allow port forwarding if you're doing any torrent stuff.

    Privacy. Books can and are written on the subject. I'll just say try and avoid doing things that link back to you while on the VPN. Don't log into your bank account or email accounts (except those you have registered and only use over VPN) while on a VPN if you can help it. If you sign up for accounts on torrent sites (public or private trackers), use an email not associated with your real identity.
