Paid VPNs, especially ones sponsored by UA-camrs, aren't that trustworthy either tbh. The only VPN you should trust with your data is one you host yourself.
Am not sponsored by a VPN company but I don't entirely agree. The advertising claims of them are sketchy, the products have some uses. I think they are all roughly equal in terms of capability, with mullvad being a bit better. If you are concerned with MITM or a specific snooper, a server you SSH into is better. Commercial VPNs are a good way of blending in with the noise, IE checking a ransomware site for threat intel purposes.

"Unlike Tor exit nodes, VPN providers are usually not actively malicious. Because Tor exit nodes can be created by anybody, they are hotspots for network logging and modification. In 2020, many Tor exit nodes were documented to be downgrading HTTPS traffic to HTTP in order to hijack cryptocurrency transactions. Other exit node attacks such as replacing downloads via unencrypted channels with malware have also been observed. HTTPS does mitigate these threats to an extent. As we've alluded to already, Tor is also easily identifiable on the network. Unlike an actual VPN provider, using Tor will make you stick out as a person likely attempting to evade authorities. In a perfect world, Tor would be seen by network administrators and authorities as a tool with many uses (like how VPNs are viewed), but in reality the perception of Tor is still far less legitimate than the perception of commercial VPNs, so using a real VPN provides you with plausible deniability, e.g. "I was just using it to watch Netflix," etc." - the PrivacyGuides website TL;DR: probably *don't use Tor specifically as a replacement for VPNs because of the views around it, and you'll stick out like a sore thumb.* Self-hosted VPNs are fine.
@@BustedByBlake I don't think you know what you are talking about. Tor has nothing to do with piracy, it's a whole other different thing from a VPN. VPN has its uses, Tor has its uses.
Self hosting a VPN for piracy is also stupid. Where will be your endpoint? Most likely on a VPS server that will be hit and your VPS provider WILL give authorities your information. The only time self hosting a VPN makes sense is to access your home or work network... The whole reason VPNs even exist.

That's why you do research to look into where your VPS is being hosted from and what their policies are. Just like with any other thing, you do your fucking research. Super important. It's not efficient to self-host solely for piracy reasons at all, but you CAN do so without being molested by copyright trolls. Yes. Self-hosting a VPN for piracy IS stupid when there are easier and more efficient ways that exist.

Today everything is sketchy, even if you pay you still have ads and get tracked for "better experience". But no one can guarantee that the stuff they collect actually ends on your better experience and not get sold to companies. And even if they don't sell it, they can still get hacked and leaked. So in a way or another your data is still in danger. 😰
