Mullvad VPN now accepts Monero payments
What are people using VPNs for mostly, if they're living in a country without internet censorship?It's either your ISP or the VPN provider, which can log the websites you have visited, so there isn't a clear advantage of using a VPN.
Sure the VPN provider may claim to log nothing, but that's hard to confirm and not proven to be true in some cases (related thread regarding Protonmail: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28443449).For researching confidential topics, TOR appears to be fine.
VPN may have better network bandwidth, or may be blocked from less websites than TOR exit nodes I guess.
