As long as your VPN provider is a proven no-logger, just go with the best performance.
But if you really want to pick countries, Eastern Europe, Italy and Switzerland just to name a few. If you are in the US I wouldn’t be crossing the pond with my VPN but that’s up to you.
Never heard Italy before. Do they have stricter laws than EU in general?
Maybe less enforcement, that would be my guess
I’ve heard from Italian friends that been doing it for ever and nothing happened.
If you are in US probably any latin country except Mexico, Puerto Rico and Panama should be OK.
Curious what it is about those countries that would cause you to advise against using them?
They are strongly aligned with US, and this kind of countries are usually more aggressive against piracy.
I’m not entirely sure on the absolute best, but I always use Switzerland. I believe they have extremely strong privacy laws that protect individual privacy and I believe they have a relaxed view on downloading so long as it is solely for personal use, though uploading / sharing torrenting is still very much disallowed.
... so that's why our servers are always so fucking slow.
Tbf it’s often the first one it grabs when I click quick connect.
I use ProtonVPN's Secure Core. Their entry nodes are in privacy-friendly countries — Switzerland, Iceland, or Sweden — and exit nodes can be to any of their VPN servers in dozens of countries around the world. It's a double hop which increases latency slightly, but I don't real-time game on this configuration.
If you are in the US, stick with US servers on a no-log VPN. Crossing the border with your traffic allows agencies to collect way more data.
from a meme that is in my head in Bulgaria piracy is legal not sure if it's the mandella affect or a lie but consider Bulgaria
I always connect to Sofia because I also remember that 'fact' lol
depends. anything illegal/political extremist shoot for something outside of the fourteen eyes.
Maybe try the smallest country that borders the country that sells Vytautas mineral water?
Spoiler alert: it's Latvia.
