That's not bad advice and it's cheaper

2018-01-21 21:44:39 UTC  

😡

2018-01-21 21:44:44 UTC  

"And now no one is gonna log your shit"

2018-01-21 21:44:46 UTC  

It's false advice

2018-01-21 21:44:49 UTC  

The opposite is true

2018-01-21 21:45:02 UTC  

If you make your own VPN everything is logger lmao

2018-01-21 21:45:03 UTC  

But you own the server lol

2018-01-21 21:45:17 UTC  

Brother

2018-01-21 21:45:23 UTC  

You aren't using a VPN service provider

2018-01-21 21:45:43 UTC  

If you use a reputable VPN provider that is located in Sweden, theres a giant list of users using the same IPs.

2018-01-21 21:45:57 UTC  

No one can therefore say "I know Polygon is using X ip because 100 other people could be using it"

2018-01-21 21:46:01 UTC  

But if he uses his own VPS

2018-01-21 21:46:13 UTC  

"I know Polygon is using X IP and ONLY X IP because he owns the VPS"

2018-01-21 21:46:24 UTC  

And this does not even mention the bandwidth concern

2018-01-21 21:47:05 UTC  

Owning your own server does not guarantee privacy at all and usually makes you less private

2018-01-21 21:47:17 UTC  

Now listen here @Polygon

2018-01-21 21:47:23 UTC  

Unless you have a need for a dedicated IP

2018-01-21 21:47:25 UTC  

Which you most likely don't

2018-01-21 21:47:28 UTC  
2018-01-21 21:47:50 UTC  

If you need a dedicated IP, just setup a VPN on your home router.

2018-01-21 21:48:16 UTC  

But if you want an ounce of privacy, using a home router as a VPN or a VPS is the wrong way to go

2018-01-21 21:48:21 UTC  

God I'm so big brained

<:frontchad:400803892935524352>

2018-01-21 21:50:21 UTC  

Wait I'm trying to understand a situation where that argument is applicable how does the person know Polygon owns a VPS lol

2018-01-21 21:50:43 UTC  

Look at the IP

2018-01-21 21:50:57 UTC  

Perform a trace - it will say Digitalocean or whatever provider

2018-01-21 21:51:03 UTC  

if you are law enforcement - just ask

2018-01-21 21:51:11 UTC  

or if you are good with words and can smoooze dumb people

2018-01-21 21:51:11 UTC  

ask

2018-01-21 21:51:44 UTC  

nah

2018-01-21 21:51:47 UTC  

2 lay z

2018-01-21 21:52:02 UTC  

I think it depends on whether you want your own IP or if you want a shared IP

2018-01-21 21:52:35 UTC  

If you want your own external IP to use just get a VPS and I don't see a disadvantage to privacy from owning a dedicated IP

2018-01-21 21:52:46 UTC  

I just explained it to you

2018-01-21 21:52:58 UTC  

Why would you want a dedicated IP anyway if you are not leaving the country and need to tunnel your netflix or something

2018-01-21 21:53:14 UTC  

I know what you mean though by owning a mesh of IPs does gurantee you more privacy because it's shared

2018-01-21 21:53:39 UTC  

And when Mullvad gets a warrant from the FBI and asks what someone was doing they laugh

2018-01-21 21:53:43 UTC  

But when Polygon gets that warrant

2018-01-21 21:53:46 UTC  

His butthole opens right up

2018-01-21 21:54:05 UTC  

Why would they be getting a warrant anyway

2018-01-21 21:54:14 UTC  

being a meanie head online
