The VPN provider I use has servers in multiple countries. I was wondering if privacy laws would make it better to VPN to some countries over others when pirating.
As long as your VPN provider is a proven no-logger, just go with the best performance.
But if you really want to pick countries, Eastern Europe, Italy and Switzerland just to name a few. If you are in the US I wouldn’t be crossing the pond with my VPN but that’s up to you.
If you are in US probably any latin country except Mexico, Puerto Rico and Panama should be OK.
Why do people keep saying that Puerto Rico is a country?!
Third time this year.
Curious what it is about those countries that would cause you to advise against using them?
Why wouldn’t you be crossing the pond for that? Legal reasons? Latency reasons?
I’m not entirely sure on the absolute best, but I always use Switzerland. I believe they have extremely strong privacy laws that protect individual privacy and I believe they have a relaxed view on downloading so long as it is solely for personal use, though uploading / sharing torrenting is still very much disallowed.
I use ProtonVPN’s Secure Core. Their entry nodes are in privacy-friendly countries — Switzerland, Iceland, or Sweden — and exit nodes can be to any of their VPN servers in dozens of countries around the world. It’s a double hop which increases latency slightly, but I don’t real-time game on this configuration.
If you are in the US, stick with US servers on a no-log VPN. Crossing the border with your traffic allows agencies to collect way more data.
I don’t mean US based, I mean US servers. Mullvad has US servers.
Can’t really comment on 14-eyes, but 100% avoid the US, UK, AU, NZ, and maybe CA based companies. I personally don’t use Mullvad anymore since they stopped supporting port forwarding, but it’s an otherwise great VPN.
from a meme that is in my head in Bulgaria piracy is legal not sure if it’s the mandella affect or a lie but consider Bulgaria
