Providers that I do know of probably don't work in your country. Personally I run my own VPN servers. You just buy a cheap VPS in some country with not too much censorship (Netherlands is a pretty good one but it might not be in the future due to EU shenanigans), then you can use something like X-UI panel to easily make a VPN server. X-UI also supports a bunch of other VPN protocols, including more common ones like Wireguard, so you could start with making your own Wireguard VPN before moving on to something more advanced

(Netherlands is a pretty good one but it might not be in the future due to EU shenanigans)

if it gets to that would the non eu balkan countries be a safe bet for getting a vps server? (like albania bosnia serbia etc)

would definitely be an improvement if/when the Netherlands starts cracking down on privacy. General rule of thumb for picking a VPN exit node is you should try crossing legal boundaries. So for example if you are living in the EU, prefer some country outside of the EU that won't enforce EU laws and is less likely to cooperate with EU/western intelligence services. The thinking is that even if those countries don't respect your privacy, at least they are less likely to rat you out to your own government

And you don't have IP issues or anything like that? Like getting blocked or anything? I just assumed websites etc would take issue with being connected to a data center IP

The only site I noticed blocking me is reddit, everything else works fine. I think blocking data center IPs would probably break a bunch of shit

Did you learn of vless from Reddit?

[-] kleeon@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

I think I learned about it from habr.com
