So the UK is going to start requiring IDs to view adult content. I’m in the US, but I’ve got a friend in the UK who obviously doesn’t want to deal with this.

I suggested he use a VPN, but he’s apparently heard they sell your personal data. Can anyone recommend a reliable VPN that collects as little data as possible?

ETA: thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I’m gonna research em and pass the info along. :)

    I use Surfshark and have done for years – but I’m not seeing it recommended really, am I missing something important that discourages people from using it?

      My rule of thumb is if a VPN company is buying youtube ad spots, they’re probably selling user data.

      I moved from PIA to surfshark last year, I think its great! But your right, its not often the first to be recommended.

        1000017020 That being said, they did just send an unrequested marketing notification to my phone out of the blue… So might have to look elsewhere tbh 🤷‍♂️
