i'd rather trust a shady vpn than my own ISP tbh :/ those fuckers are snitches

[–] cactus_head 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Its not VPN itself the problem but the fact that they cant see your traffic and only your VPN connections which in of itself can ground for arrest

where can that be grounds for arrest?

Dude, we are talking about a country that still execute ppl by swords and has the death penalty for leaving Islam. What cant be grounds for arrest

yeah agreed I haven't gotten a VPN yet but I plan to get one for travelling... but idk is there something I don't know about vpns that could make them worse?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I only know of two: performance, and accounts being banned. Idk if there's anymore.

Btw, whether or not you need a vpn probably depends where you're travelling. If you're going to travel to developing countries, then you'll probably need one. otherwise you should be fine. (idk how censorship and safety are in the west, only know about them here)
