    Nobody asking themselves how they got all these details of that person?

    Reddit doesnt require a full name.

      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…

            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
