Saw this a while back and was wondering if anyone actually uses it and what their thoughts are about it, if you don’t use it I’m still intrigued on what others think about it

€11.99 a month is a lot for a vpn that doesn't mention port forwarding.

This comes up frequently of late. I scoped it out a while ago. I'd say it has potential. However, last I checked they really hadn't progressed past v2.0 and I'm not an early adopter. I think there are several here that have used it with mixed results.

Interesting, I haven’t really seen loads about it so apologies if I’m repeating questions that might have already been asked

Ask your questions bro. Not bothering me at all. I don't see a lot about NYM out in the wild either, I just know it has been discussed here.

There are never too many questions... unless you're asking if pokeberries are edible.

I genuinely laughed. Kind of like I tell my lady friend when we're out walking in the woods, and she asks 'Is that mushroom edible?'. My response always get's a slug in the arm. 'All mushrooms are edible'.

It's a thing from the old days of /r/whatisthisplant. Every fucking Fall...

Everything is edible once.
