My guess is that whatever VPN server your connected to had someone else who was spamming or doing something else they weren’t supposed to. This caused the email addresses associated with that IP to be flagged.
One of the drawbacks to a VPN is you share your IP with strangers who sometimes do stuff you get penalized for.
The protocol is cool, the implementation becoming proprietary and enshittified is a bummer.
I still pay even though I pirate. Debrid service, Usenet etc.
It’s always been a service issue not a money issue for me. I realize not everyone has the luxury of that issue.
Right now I’m paying about $6/month. I could always reduce it to 0 but at this price the extra QOL features are worth it.
Lol Meta literally torrented 81 TB of data from the site. Stop with this “degrees of compression” bs
Stunner legal entity follows the law…
Fellas your VPN is not going to break the law for you.
Does this make Anna’s Archive the top music tracker now? Lol move over RED
They are so different they felt the need to compare themselves directly in their own white paper. You are an idiot.
Its literally just a worse version of ubo with an extra snake oil feature.

We are all dumber for reading your comment.
They literally compare themselves to ubo in their own white paper. Are you dense?

This performs worse in literally every category when compared to ubo. You can check their own white paper if you don’t believe me.
Poisoned data is extremely easy to filter and will only get easier as AI improves. Stop making these posts this is basically FUD. It is much better to get rid of the data you can and form proper data hygiene practices.
Mullvad Browser is literally based on Firefox ESR. Which they clearly state.
For example: “Mullvad Browser 14.0, based on Firefox ESR 128”
Their past dramas are irrelevant to this issue.
Giving into a straw man argument such as their other dramas somehow devalue what’s going on now, only plays into the French propaganda campaign.
Not as bad a taste as the French government is giving me.
If its do I trust GOS or a confirmed pro chat control governments side of the story, its an easy choice.
Don’t bring data you are not ok with a foreign government forcing you to handover. That’s the simplest solution.
Back all your important data up, then wipe your phone before you go. Same with the laptop. You can’t be coerced into giving something you don’t have.
Threat modeling is important. If your just an average Joe being a tourist it is highly unlikely the Chinese government is going to take your devices to search.

Based on basic security principles. There is not a real security expert out there that would ever tell you to not update. Leaving a backdoor in your network as a “honeypot” is an absolutely awful idea.
You are also conflating security updates with feature updates. Please take a look at the different terminology.
Anyway if you really hate all the bloat of Windows there is a wide variety of other operating systems to choose from that also offer security updates.
Why? Both of those options are worse. You can’t be a privacy respecting service and not allow VPNs. If you do allow VPNs, it is going to force you to sometimes blanket ban an IP because bad actors use VPNs as well.
Typically this only happens on free VPN servers because people who abuse these services also realize they are going to get banned. The easiest solution is to use a premium VPN or signup with your actual IP address (depending on your threat model).
