Good point. This sounds like a vote against going the vps route, am I correct?

I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this comment: https://lemmy.ml/comment/5989977
It seems that he’s recommending against Privacy Guides (I assume it’s the same one you’re recommending?)
General consensus seems to be that it should be ignored. Your point is well received too. Thank you!
Is the privacy guides link you posted a different site than the one which TheAnonymousJoker is recommending against?
Thanks, that is very helpful. For the record though, which PrivacyGuides are you saying I should avoid? Is it the site this comment mentions? https://lemmy.ml/comment/5985755
I also see that the person who replied to your comment linked a didn’t Privacy Guides site.
Thank you! This is extremely helpful!
Thanks for the recommendations. Regarding it being easy and me making it difficult, I respectfully disagree, and would like to provide a bit perspective. If you’re here replying I suspect you’re at least a minor hobbyist, and I’m sure that privacy and security solution selections seems quite simple to you. I assure you, it isn’t easy for everyone.
This particular market is literally overrun with intentionally deceptive and often very outdated information, which make it an absolute minefield for the uninitiated. I’m thankful I dove deep enough that I realized I needed to ask a question, because I may have ended up with one of the many much worse choices had I not asked.
Is that July 20th, 2019, or July 19th, 2020? Regardless, I’m under the impression that the VPN world (or really the tech world in general) evolves waaay too quickly to rely on information that’s either 3 or 4 years old. Also, as I’m typing this, I also think I saw info that That One Privacy was acquired by a company that sells multiple VPN services, a few of which are included in that sheet if I’m remembering correctly.
EDIT: Confirmed.
NGL doing something like that is WAY above my pay grade anyway, but I still am interested in the answer to this question, because I’ve seen the advice to take the ‘self-operated’ approach before.
They seem to recommend AirVPN pretty heavily. This comment points out some potential issues with that recommendation.
I just posted a thread on that sub inquiring about it, because I haven’t really seen it addressed by that sub yet. I guess we’ll see what the response is.
