<h1>What is NoVPN?</h1>
<br />
<p>
NoVPN is a
<a href="/" target="_blank">page on my website</a> to
encourage people to not use VPNs if they don't have a use
for them.

<h1>I use ExpressVPN, NordVPN, etc. are these good options?</h1>
<br />
<p>
No. These VPNs collect enourmous ammount of your data and
sell it. ExpressVPN

have faced this sort of issue.

But people, my friends and my favourite creators are telling
me that my data will be exposed otherwise
</h1>
<br />
<p>
That can technically happen, BUT, most sites use
<a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTPS" target="_blank"
>the HTTPS protocol</a
>
which is very secure and it's very unlikely your data will
be exposed while visiting HTTPS sites. But if you use
<a
href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol"
target="_blank"
>only HTTP</a
>
which is not secure and someone is targeting you, yes they
will get your data, but most HTTP sites are very simple and
don't even give you the option to put in any details. And
please remember that your favourite creators are paid to lie
to you and they probably themselves don't know what they're
saying so before you believe someone think to yourself "was
there money involved" and "is there a chance that they
actually know what they're talking about". Don't trust
anyone.

Hm okay, but what about open source VPNs like riseup or
proton VPN
</h1>
<br />
<p>
VPNs without a use... well are just useless... Don't use a
VPN if you don't have a use. Because:
<br />
</p>
<ul>
<li>It slows down your connection</li>
<li>You're trusting someone else with your data</li>
<li>
If you're using only a free trial - you're also wasting
money
</li>
<li>
It gives you a

<a href="//tech.co/vpn/are-vpns-legal" target="_blank"

</li>
</ul>
<br />
Please think about if you <b>REALLY</b> need a VPN or are you
just getting it just to waste money, bandwidth and your
privacy...

<h1>What are good use cases of VPNs</h1>
<br />
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>Bypassing your countie's restrictions</li>
<li>Pirating content off the internet</li>

A site that is connected through a VPN to access
restricted content (e.g
<a href="//www.hackthebox.com/" target="_blank"
>Hack The Box</a

<li>Bypassing IP range bans</li>

You're telling us "not to trust anyone", does that include
you?

Yes. You should not trust me or anyone, you should do your

Why do people use VPNs so much without knowing what it is,
does or is running
</h1>
<br />
<p>
They are being influenced by their favourite content
creators on social media and then they influence their
friend and they their friends and so on. But one friend
eventually realised it's bullshit and doesn't spread it,
which is when it stops, be the person who stops the
spreading of this bs and stop giving companies data to sell.
