What VPN have you switched to after the Mullvad situation. I have looked at nym and ivpn. But don’t know if they are any good.

    How does a selfhosted VPN work? I thought the purpose was to offload the connection so the ISP only saw the company IP…which is this case is an IP toed to your location?

      Yes, a self-hosted VPN could reveal your IP, so you must hire a VPS server to host your VPN, so the IP you reveal is that of the VPS server located somewhere else, in turn you can configure proxies to mask the same IP of your VPS

        Is this then not essentially the same thing, paying for a remote access IP to mask your traffic?

        I am not against it or anything I just dont get the difference.
