Well shit. I need to change to airVPN now. I'm worried as I've heard people had their IP's leaked to their ISP with AirVPN, BUT that could have also been user error.

Oh shit, what kind of things can my ISP do if it figures out my IP!? Am I safer if I unplug the wire they probably just use to spy on me? I'm gonna unplug it, just to be sa

I torrent and seed and that shits not legal here. Mullvad has been great for never leaking my torrenting to my ISP.

Yeah VPN has a purpose but the way people seem to believe they won't be fingerprinted or that DPS isn't a thing is worrying.

Yeah, a solution to some problems is not a solution to others.
