It's good for basically not giving your ip to every place you visit

IF THEY WANTED US, THEY WOULD HAVE US

but you're still giving the ip away

lol

YOU ARE GIVING IP TO VPN HOST

THAT IS IT

who says vpn doesnt forward it

lol

they work both sides of the field

=.0

get hslw

and plug into a server with vpn

youll see info that's being sent out

HAVE NEVER SEEN IT TO BE HONEST

VPNs MAKE THEIR CASH ON NOT FORWARDING THE ADDRESS

what distros you guys running

i need to know so i can mock you for not using arch (for desktop, at least)

I'm thinking of installing Ubuntu on my laptop just to learn the tech

@MentalSyntaxError alpine

the default install is like 50mb

.... and ubuntu, so mock away 😄

installing fedora to a laptop now to use as a server to run meteor apps

UBUNTU BIX NOOD

not really

eugenenix confirmed neckbeard for using fedora

hahaha

i use arch and fedora
