One of the problems with using any VPN, for me personally, is that you must trust the provider not to log anything (and I trust no one!), and proving a negative (like claiming black swans don't exist just because you've never seen one) is practically impossible (ofc if you are not a theoretical logician, lol).
I've been a bond holder / arbitrator with SimplifiedPrivacy.com for ~1.5 years (as discussed in my Substack post on trust and bonds in the P2P economy: https://themeritocrat.substack.com/p/on-trust-and-bonds-in-the-p2p-economy), and there have been zero bond claims or complaints so far.
While I trust no one infinitely - and just as some infinities are larger than others - I distrust those who've consistently proven reliable a bit less. Therefore, when SP reached out, I saw it as a chance to learn how the sausages are made, so I'm now running a HydraVeil node in Sweden. You can become a HydraVeil community node operator too:
HydraVeil (hydraveil.net) lets you isolate different parts of your online life using unique browser fingerprints, routed through different VPN operators whose identities are verified by encryption linked to Nostr. Feel free to try my node for your profiles:
