Just a SEO blog post that posts something obvious.

They mention ThatOnePrivacySite.net but criticize him:

"Here's the difference. They include virtually every provider — the good and the bad — and present them at equal value to sort through. Instead of providing their readers with answers, they provide them with information that can be used to deduce their own recommendations, based on their values as an individual. "

1st: providing them all guarantees that there is no conflict of interest

2nd: "Instead of providing their readers with answers" You can not provide this answer since there a tons of reasons to use a VPN

"Your VPN provider should not be hiding away in Panama controlled by anonymous leadership."

This is also bullshit. In fact, some of the most resilient VPN provides provide no legislation at all. They only exists in Cyberspace. "Sue us!"

This should prevent DNS leaks on Linux if UFW is installed.

ufw default deny outgoing

ufw allow out on tun0

ufw allow out on tun0 to 84.200.69.80 port 53

Should also keep in mind a few years ago Astril was using weak keys like ExpressVPN. That really makes me wonder what they know about running VPN servers. I think you only get one chance with your reputation on things like this.
