On matters like VPN providers, DNS providers, and similar topics, often one would like to find websites with recommendations and reviews from other people, especially testers or “experts”. But it’s SO difficult to find trustworthy websites! The vast majority appearing on searchers are clearly built by untrustworthy parties, or biased by commissions. A good one is https://www.privacyguides.org/ Do you know of any other good, trustworthy ones?

    The best we can do in most cases is to use these sites to bring software, services, features, and risks to our attention

    This is my purpose indeed; I’m not saying I’d blindly trust some websites. It’s good to find some that people have found to be more reputable.

      You were literally asking for “trustworthy websites with recommendations”. GP is telling you to stop looking or even believing in such things existing. I’d agree.

      The harder you search for just that, the more targeted you will be be scammers and cybercriminals. Whatever is a credible resource today may turn bad next month and public perception taking years to catch up. It’s not like that’d be a first.

      That said, lots of good stuff and leads in codeberg.org/pluja/awesome-privacy. And +1 on EFF.
