> I mean how do you measure VPN services?
- Credit only Word of mouth, but it depends what type of VPN you're looking for. So again, word of mouth these days.
> I never understood why people working in tech would ever trust a VPN service?
-I do, quite a bit actually, I need to connect to another network but region specific.. They are a tool for as you say 'in tech' to work.
> A VPN is seeing all your traffic, and you have to take their word that they do not log any of it?
- At least in Europe that doesn't fly. It does depend on your provider though. Thats why you shop around.
- On this point, I will argue that running your own VPN is better, but so is running your own web hosting. It depends on your priorities.
> I use free tier AWS servers across the globe with wireguard. It might not be perfect, but I still prefer that than using a VPN service.
- Good for you. Enjoy.
