I think to the uninitiated it's a bit of a minefield. Are there guides to the best providers, and ones you can subscribe to using anonymous forms of payment?
What this guy said 👆
Word of mouth is the only way I've got in to it tbh. I can't share mine here without doxxing myself sadly.
The service I used to use shut down about six months ago and I'm yet to find a good replacement. So if anyone wants to put some words in my mouth (ugh, not sure I should have gone with that phrase) I'll gladly accept. Seems like most of the "recommended" ones are referrals to scams, or have weird limitations (like not making the M3Us available, so you can't hook in to Plex, for example).
Yeah I've heard this before. I have a friend who got one, word of mouth in his case too. It works well for him and it's tempting to try, but (a) he's one of the least tech savvy people I know, so his recommendation counts for little, and (b) the service plays badly with Nord and he was advised to get SurfShark, which I don't fancy doing. (And in my jurisdiction, VPN usage would be strongly advisable.)
Mine came from a tech unsavvy person too. He was blown away when I showed him it running on my phone 😂. It's just an Android app haha.
