    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
