Hmm, yeah, everything you’re saying sounds totally plausible. I guess I just haven’t noticed any of these problems directly affecting my user experience yet, certainly not enough to consider attempting to migrate away from Linux.

Have you tried airvpn? I haven’t yet, but I’ve seen it recommended and it supports port forwarding.

Any reason not to use ivpn or airvpn? ivpn in particular seemed very privacy-focused with a pricing structure similar to mullvad when I looked at their website.

One of the owners made a huge donation to a right-wing, anti-immigration Swedish political party, I believe. Someone feel free to correct me on the details.

I’ve been looking at both ivpn and airvpn as potential replacements.

Genuine question, what negative effects are corps having on the Linux ecosystem? I’ve also been daily driving Linux for over a decade and it honestly feels pretty similar now to how it did 10 years ago.
