Hi! So I have had surfshark for a while and been generally quite satisfied. They do everything I need them to do this far with no fuss and bundle in some handy other services as well.
My annual plan expires in a couple of months and I’m curious what else is out there, as I only started SF because it was heavily discounted at the time. From a new provider, I just need privacy, the ability to torrent totally public domain content, and a static IP. Do you have any suggestions for other options worth considering? I just like to have options. Thanks in advance!
I listen to a security researchers podcast, and they mentioned Tor exit nodes being set up by governments to figure out where messages were coming from and track down individuals
There was also this article I found where the FBI exploited a vulnerability to expose the IP of a wanted individual
