Most VPN Services are Terrible

Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand.

It is for this reason that I feel compelled to speak up, asking much from young software authors like myself that are finding their skills so ever more in-demand and who I know care so deeply for the future of a media in which they have found such connection, challenge, and personal achievement.

For them (and others), this document is intended to present a perspective of technological positivism at its core layered deeply under a mantle of skepticism regarding aggr
