Were these people that were arrested not using a VPN?

yea, never understood this.

i use a very thoroughly tested no-logs vpn for everyday casual stuff but this isn't the first time i've seen people doing encodes get caught. i'm not a genius but i know how to read shit online, ask questions, and test my setup... you'd think people doing sketchier stuff would lean into the same a bit harder than I have.
