Thanks to the generous person who donated 0.12 XMR today <3 Its honestly an honor to be part of such a amazing community :)

From a technical standpoint I would prefer SPN over any VPN. If they somehow manage to add port forwarding and let their apps and infrastructure being audited, then I would use nothing else.

Ah, Telegram: where end-to-end encryption is a “special feature” for secret chats and not the standard for all. How… private.

I agree but sadly they both dropped port forwarding recently. I used both of them for years.

I prefer using services that allow me to share my IP and email domain aliases, which is why I don’t opt for self-hosting. When it comes to VPNs, Mullvad has always been my top choice, though I was disappointed when they dropped PF. On the topic of VPS providers, mine requires KYC, which raises concerns as it could easily trace activities back to me. It’s unfortunate that more privacy-friendly VPS options come with a higher price tag. Additionally, I was sad to hear that SimpleLogin was acquired by Proton.

I forgot to mention that the client they may offer should be open source.

They look like they might be a good choice for me. Thanks for the recommendation.
