I have Spotify Premium Duo for son & I, Youtube Premium Family (I pay for son and I & got 4 of my friends to join so we split the cost), Voxa - audiobooks for son, NovelAI for son (some story writing tool I guess, to be honest I don’t really know what this one does exactly). No movie / TV show streaming services cause I have Filelist (torrents) and the world wide web.

    Don’t buy it - build it (if it’s within your technical comfort zone). Self hosted VPNs are cheaper and you’re not entrusting your privacy to a third party (as much).

      Ok that’s interesting, how can I build it? Cuz it sounds hard and possibly more expensive.😅

      I suppose I have to somehow rent a server or rent physical rooms across my continent to put my servers (and buy internet connection for each location) to maintain a network. Plus set up the network. Isnt that too complicated? Is there any easier solution?😅

        The easiest route is to buy a server from someone like digital ocean, set up a VPN daemon, register a cert with it (that’s the hardest technical part) then set up something like openVPN on your client machine and install a matching cert there.
