The one thing I didn't like was that P2P/torrenting is blocked. They claim that to enable torrenting, they would have had to enable logging.

Wait, if Tunnelbear are throttling P2P connections, where is the red flag?

Regarding NordVPN: I’ve used them a few years ago and their service was terrible. Disconnects upon disconnects, servers not working for days — I gave up eventually.

Never tested any other VPN he reviewed, however, I’ve written a guide[1] how to pick a VPN provider without throwing numbers and reviews around me, if anyone wants to give it a read.

Reading guides how to choose a laptop for work and travel always seems to contain a few things:

1. it has to be sturdy

2. it should have a good keyboard & trackpad

But what about the software? I’ve come across a lot of people that bought MacBooks only to realise that they actually needed Windows (to run specific software). I don’t think installing Windows on a Mac is a bad idea but why not think about the software first and buy the hardware according to your needs?

What do you think?
