We were recently made aware of multiple potential DNS leaks on Android. They stem from bugs in Android itself, and only affect certain apps.

This is a nice write-up from Mullvad. I’ve been using their services for a while and will continue to do so.

Been using Mullvad for over 10 years, first through my dads account and recently bought my own subscription for a year. Very respectable people and a great service. I recommend this to anyone looking for a VPN.

Aren’t you all tired of the captcha that we need to solve while using VPNs? Is there a solution (I don’t think so)?

That’s why I stopped using Google a few years ago. I moved to ddg and liked it pretty well. I switched to kagi earlier this year and it’s going pretty well. I still run into some captchas that refuse to let me pass. I usually just turn around at that point

I use MV and rarely see a captcha.

Really? I use ProtonVPN and I get captcha everywhere :)

I just wish they weren’t so pricey for a casual vpn user. I’d be down with a cheap plan that throttles way down after like 20 gigs a month or something.

It’s $5 a month. And you get five simultaneous logins. So you and five of your friends could get together and get the price down to $1 a month.

five simultaneous logins…you and five of your friends…get the price down to $1 a month.

You (1) + 5 friends = 6, which is more than 5. So where does the extra dollar go and who doesn’t get to login?

Haha friends, that’s a neat trick
