I would also like to clarify my last posts.
I don’t recommend any of the providers above for usage. Not NordVPN or any of them. Users, please do your own due diligence.
I did recommended NordVPN to be used as an example for this guide. This is not intended to be any kind of review as to the quality of Nord or any of the others. It is simply an attempt to hypothesize what will be useful for Whonix users when they come to follow the VPN page instructions, many of them already come with a clear idea of which provider to use, as can be seen in the search results I presented. I just know that many Tor users who value their anonymity and also require VPN (with or without Tor) mostly go for those. Maybe they’re making a horrible mistake with their choice - I’m no authority on that matter.
If the choice was mine I’d take the 3 top providers who appeared in search results, and evaluate them only according to the technical aspects (have free service / tcp / ease of setup etc). Any attempt to make an opinion on the less then visible aspects (try to guess… do they really store logs or not? what is the chance they are compromised? etc) is meaningless, although it is very common to see those kind of reviews
By the way I’ve seen less than favorable reviews on the person behind CryptoStorm and about other points with them.
Now perhaps the author is just a hater of CryptoStorm for some reason. I can’t be the judge of that. Maybe the other providers give him better affiliate fees or something. Can’t tell. But when I see zero interest in this provider from users on this forum I will gladly move on.
