    Windscribe supports ephemeral port forwarding on its paid plans and permanent port forwarding on its static IP plans. They have a 44% off sale currently.

      The product description is a bit awkward:

      No Identifying Logs We can’t personally identify you based on IP and timestamp

      This is why they go to your provider and asking whom this IP belongs to. They basically sey that they log your stuff

        I don’t understand. Are you talking about the static IPs? They are not dedicated. They are still shared, so Windscribe cannot pinpoint individual users on them.

          Yeah that’s the point, it’s just that authorities can go to them and ask for an IP and timestamp, then go with that info to your ISP asking for the person the IP was assigned at that time.

        Their whole product looks weird: it just looks like you can pay extra money to ensure you get the same exit IP every time.

        I don’t know WHAT the use case is for that, but if people want to give someone money for it, might as well take it.
