The VPN provider I use has servers in multiple countries. I was wondering if privacy laws would make it better to VPN to some countries over others when pirating.

    As long as your VPN provider is a proven no-logger, just go with the best performance.

    But if you really want to pick countries, Eastern Europe, Italy and Switzerland just to name a few. If you are in the US I wouldn’t be crossing the pond with my VPN but that’s up to you.

      If you are in US probably any latin country except Mexico, Puerto Rico and Panama should be OK.

        Why do people keep saying that Puerto Rico is a country?!

        Third time this year.

        Curious what it is about those countries that would cause you to advise against using them?

          They are strongly aligned with US, and this kind of countries are usually more aggressive against piracy.

      Why wouldn’t you be crossing the pond for that? Legal reasons? Latency reasons?
