Forgive me perhaps I read the landing page too quickly but it looks like any other VPN service... I pay a stranger money and my traffic goes through that stranger’s servers?<p>No offense but why would I trust that stranger?<p>Isn’t the best choice for the privacy conscious to set up a VPN on a machine they themselves have physical control over?

Hi folks. Fortressa creator here. Friends and family kept asking me about VPNs, and I didn’t have any good suggestions to offer, so I built a solution I felt comfortable recommending. You can learn more about my motivation in my announcement post:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;justinmayer.com&#x2F;posts&#x2F;introducing-fortressa&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;justinmayer.com&#x2F;posts&#x2F;introducing-fortressa&#x2F;</a><p>I wanted to share this with the community in hopes of getting constructive feedback. Many thanks in advance, and please be kind! (^_^)

What does this give me over PIA? Other than over double the price? I can&#x27;t seem to see any features this offers me over any of the other VPN&#x27;s.<p>It says it works on &quot;Ready to protect your Mac computers, iPhones, and iPads?&quot; how does even work? It would be one thing if they provided apps but I can&#x27;t seem find links to their apps so why would this be limited to Mac&#x2F;iOS?
