Never had any problems with it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] Mikufan@ani.social 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] atrielienz@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago (1 child) So, did you read the article? A rented server was breached because it didn't belong to Nord and the company that it belonged to was at fault. I personally have had no problems with the service. They didn't lose passwords, user data or any credit card information. At worst someone may have been able to monitor some user data and internet traffic. This also happened before I started using them (I had another VPN before that). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Mikufan@ani.social 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] atrielienz@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago How is it exactly that you think large VPN's work? Because I gotta say, no large VPN isn't using some independent vendor. Can you prove they still do business with that vender? permalink fedilink source parent [–] colonial@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I'm not well versed in the machinations of the Chinese government, but if a relatively "normie" VPN like Nord works in China... it's probably controlled opposition (i.e. they're logging everything to a government server.) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] atrielienz@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago You also don't appear to be well versed in VPNs. permalink fedilink source parent
