minus-squareJoeKrogan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoIf you are forced to disable your vpn there is more risk. I’m not sure if some permit a vpn but I wouldn’t be trusting any of them without one.

minus-squarestate_electrician@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoMAM used to be quite anti-VPN but I haven’t used it in years, so no idea what their take is now.
