Virtual private network service NordVPN warned on Friday it could pull out of Canada over the federal government’s proposed lawful access bill.

NordVPN said in a social media post it is reviewing the bill and would consider leaving Canada if the bill requires it to compromise its privacy protections.

The company said if Bill C-22 passes “and if we are subjected to mandatory obligations, there isn’t a scenario in which we would compromise our no-logs architecture or encryption protections.”

Quad9 is fine. Don't let that user scare you. Here's a quote from Quad9's own privacy policy section regarding data sales:

2.3 Sharing of data

Quad9 does not share, sell, or rent any information that could identify an individual.

We do not share this information because we do not have this information. We do not have this information because we do not need this information. Because we do not need this information, we have built no mechanism to collect, retain, analyze, or distribute it.

I believe they do some monitoring/selling data. Plus they fall under the US’s Cloud Act, use CIRA instead for “protected” use 149.112.121.20 and 149.112.122.20, for “private” use 149.112.121.10 and 149.112.122.10, or if you want “family” use 149.112.121.30 and 149.112.122.30.

Sure CIRA is a Government of Canada agency and this will fall into the same issue being discussed here, but you are not at the whims of the US. I personally run unbound with pihole to encrypt my data and I am venturing further into the encryption so that I can be put on more lists but hey it is great to be noticed for my achievements.
