The best thing is that they accept crypto. I wouldn't want to pay for a VPN with a credit card in my name.
IMO the coolest privacy option they have is to literally mail them an envelope full of cash with just your account's cash payment ID.
Wow, you must be using the VPN for some seriously shady stuff.
I'd gather a small amount of that up (however I did that), keep it in an offline wallet, and spend it on VPN service every now and then.
It just seemed like the right way to go about things.
(And then I lost that wallet, because of course I did, with about $14 worth of BTC in it. I didn't care enough at that time to see if I'd backed it up properly; I wasn't planning on using it for anything anymore anyway. That was in 2014 and those backups are waaaay gone now, but it'd be around $2k worth of BTC today -- plenty to buy some DDR5 RAM. Whoopsie-doodle!)
(I'm sure that browsers like lynx still work just like they did in 2001, and that pine can still read mail. Shouldn't be a problem, right?)
Am I correct to assume that links2 is more of the same/better?
(Also: Your comment seems perfectly sane, but it was already marked as "flagged" by the time I saw it 18 minutes after it was submitted. I vouched for it.
But I wonder: Whose ruffles did you panty in order for your comments to land this way?)
Most distributions install links2 as links.

I don't know, but most people on voting based forums don't like what I have to say, even though I am almost always right. For example, when I say that Linux is an operating system using a software development methodology from the 1970s, that hurts some people's feelings. Similarly, when I say that I use Linux, because I am poor (read: not a decabillionaire), not because it's good (Mac/Windows are obviously even worse), that just rubs people the wrong way. So, ultimately, it's because most people are political and stupid in nature.
I think almost everything sucks relative to my standards, which is only natural, because I am engineer and I only exist to fix broken shit.
