proton is alright I guess. I have a hard time trusting them because they have given data over to LE before. However, the data that they gave was minimal.

I understand that, but the goal of learning this isn’t to get better with people, it’s to be a better hacker. I want to get as many resources as possible for doing so. Learning social engineering will allow me to be better at both attack and defense (since I will be able to spot early warning signs)

I am working on my problems with people separately. I know what my issue is and I am trying to fix it. But it won’t help with social engineering

I’m kind of a social hermit, but I have a couple friends who do stuff like that. I’ll check it out.

it doesn’t seem like they accept privacy-respecting payment methods and they keep a lot of user info. A lot of their stuff relies on sgx which is proprietary and not as secure as advertised. Their service is also pretty expensive.

I recommend mullvad. they have a record of keeping user data safe. Even when their offices were raided by police, they couldn’t get any useful data. it’s also not that expensive and they accept privacy respecting payment like cash
