Australia's under-16 social media ban launches December 10, 2025. The UK tried identical age verification laws on July 25. VPN usage spiked 2,000%. The ban failed. Here's what's coming to Australia.
Honest NordVPN vs CyberGhost comparison. CyberGhost owned by Kape (alleged ex-malware distributor) since 2017. NordVPN hid 2018 breach. I make ~$40 from Nord, $0 from CyberGhost. Here's why neither is ideal.
NordVPN vs IPVanish comparison. IPVanish owned by Ziff Davis (also owns PCMag reviewing it). 2016: logged users despite no-logs claims. NordVPN hid 2018 breach. I make ~$40 from Nord, $0 from IPVanish.
Honest NordVPN vs ExpressVPN comparison. ExpressVPN owned by Kape (alleged ex-malware distributor). NordVPN hid 2018 breach. I make ~$40 from Nord, $0 from Express. Here's why neither is ideal.
NordVPN vs Mullvad comparison. Mullvad: €5/mo forever, no email, raided by police who found nothing. NordVPN: $12.99/mo renewal, 2018 breach hidden 18 months. I make ~$40 from Nord, $0 from Mullvad.
NordVPN vs PIA comparison. PIA sold to Kape for $95M in 2019 while $30M in debt. NordVPN hid 2018 breach. I make ~$40 from Nord, $0 from PIA. Why Reddit lost faith in both.
ProtonVPN vs ExpressVPN comparison. ExpressVPN sold to Kape (alleged ex-malware distributor) for $936M in 2021. ProtonVPN: Swiss independent, open source. I make ~$25 from Proton, $0 from ExpressVPN.
