@Aethel@mastodon.social @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @mullvadnet@mastodon.online @rysiek@mstdn.social I for one use #PiVPN a lot, but I also have #Debian and #Linux administration skills, and run these on my own VPS'.
PiVPN (and #Wireguard) is software, is not a business per se. I subscribe to a VPN service which I provide to myself.
Serious geek skills allow for this.
**The point being: If people want to divorce and indemnify themselves from underlying politics of any provider, this is how at least one "middleman" is eliminated, IMHO.** If one feels like one can't trust any VPN provider, then at the end of the day, one needs to learn more #SelfHosting skills.
There needs to be some trust, somewhere.

@d1@autistics.life @Aethel@mastodon.social @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @mullvadnet@mastodon.online @rysiek@mstdn.social I guess the trust thing is right. But maybe thats why i selfhost :-) netbird is a great VPN to shelfhost
