So the UK is going to start requiring IDs to view adult content. I’m in the US, but I’ve got a friend in the UK who obviously doesn’t want to deal with this.

I suggested he use a VPN, but he’s apparently heard they sell your personal data. Can anyone recommend a reliable VPN that collects as little data as possible?

ETA: thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I’m gonna research em and pass the info along. :)

    Mullvad VPN if you’re prepared to pay; ProtonVPN or Windscribe if you aren’t.

    None of the services keep logs or require any personal info.

      PIA is run by a sketchy company with ties to zionists. Please do not support them.

      If you need a cheap VPN go with AirVPN or even Nord over PIA.

    I use Surfshark and have done for years – but I’m not seeing it recommended really, am I missing something important that discourages people from using it?

      I moved from PIA to surfshark last year, I think its great! But your right, its not often the first to be recommended.

        1000017020 That being said, they did just send an unrequested marketing notification to my phone out of the blue… So might have to look elsewhere tbh 🤷‍♂️

      Neither of us are very techy and I told him I’d look into this for him because he’s juggling 100 different things right now. I think my dumb ass relaying instructions on how to do this, to his dumb ass, would end in tears.
