€11.99 a month is a lot for a vpn that doesn’t mention port forwarding.

If you’re worried about slower speeds and higher ping you can split tunnel applications so they wont be affected by the VPN i do this for things like games and freetube(doesn’t seem to work with my vpn enabled).

If you’re in the UK could you get prosecuted for saying something “grossly offensive” around one of those ring door bells?

I also fear the $5 wrench. Honestly if you’re doing any risky and dangerous shit you have to ask yourself if its worth doing.

I like mullvad i use their dns filtering and their socks5 proxies however it does lack port forwarding so it sucks for torrenting.

Did you also register your account with a unique name and email?

I use Invidious or if that doesn’t work i split tunnel a terminal and use mpv
