Buying a Usenet plan is like buying a cell phone plan in the 90’s; there’s limits and download caps and is my Usenet group restricted and all sorts of things to figure out.
Buying a VPN doesn’t have download caps and restrictions on specific websites. It just works.
And, yes, buying access to a VPN is not only radically easier but can also be used on my phone / laptop / etc to prevent advertisement/ISP snooping. Can I do that with a Usenet subscription?
What are you talking about? My usenet subscription is unlimited less than $10/month and it even comes with a VPN subscription. Nothing hard to figure out at all. Certainly nothing harder than figuring out which VPN to subscribe to.
Which one?
Usenet Server
Yes, which Usenet Server service?
