    Nobody asking themselves how they got all these details of that person?

    Reddit doesnt require a full name.

      My guess is: Got IP Address from Reddit, asked ISP for data.

      I’ve seen this type of thing reported so many times, seems like ISPs will give out your data willy-nilly if someone so much as looks at them funny

        If you do interesting stuff, use a good VPN. But those will also have to either delete their logs (Wireguard is actually worse here) or be brave.

        Or Tor…

          Am I missing something with Wireguard? Isn’t it just a open source VPN software?

          What’s wrong with it?

            Wireguard has performance improvements at the cost of NEEDING to store client data longer.

              Update: yes this is still true. MullvadVPN and ProtonVPN (which I dont recommend) both patch wireguard to work with less logs.

              Officially, Wireguard cannot be no-log
