I have been reading about internet privacy for a long time. As time went on, I got a vpn subcription, a custom domain, a paid email hosting, etc. No regrets on the services themselves.

I recently had this conversation with a colleague of mine, complaining about the rising cost of everything including internet subscription services: netflix, spotify, youtube, you name it. I could simply disregard my colleague’s complaints as I didn’t have any of those and know the ways of obtaining materials. However, once I start adding up the privacy related services I’m willingly paying instead… they also add up into a considerable amount.

So, do you pay for anything privacy related, how much do you pay in total, and is it affordable for you? For example, many VPN providers offer yearly subscriptions around 40-50 USD.

    I honestly only pay for Bitwarden. 10€ a year is very very cheap. And you don’t even have to, the free features are all the things you normally need. I am paying just as a donation.

            Okay correct. Mb. I actually already have a hetzner vps I’m paying for. I might think of self hosting the bitwarden instance there.
