Copyright holders hire services that use bots to monitor file-sharing networks and send ISPs millions of notices a year alleging infringement by someone at a particular IP address, Cox told the Supreme Court. Cox said that ISPs “have no way of verifying whether a bot-generated notice is accurate” and that even if the notices are accurate, terminating an account would punish every user in a household where only one person may have illegally downloaded copyrighted files.

    Mullvad does this nicely with lockdown mode. It’s also really inexpensive and you can pay anonymously so the only record they have is your customer ID number.

        I’ve never used Torguard but I’m guessing it’s probably pretty good too? The only ones I hear about a lot are the big ones (NordVPN and the like) and I’m always leery of the really large, common and corporate used VPN services.

        I ended up on Mullvad 7-8 years ago because of the recommendation of a SysAdmin I worked with at the time.

          As far as I know, this one was made for torrents. I push terabytes of data through it, up and down, no complaints at all. I avoid all the ones that advertise and lie on YouTube channels. Nord, surf shark, etc. Torguard is pretty small and offer a lot. I have it on my Zorin laptop, desktop, tv, phone and tablet just in case I need to change locations.
