New DuckDuckGo subscription just went live. It is called Privacy Pro
Cool they add paid features to the service instead of removing free features and making them paid
I know this will sound like complete corporate shill, but I was hoping they would do something like this for a long time.
As long as their revenue stream was just ads - there would always be a conflict of interest, this helps a bit. They obviously can’t charge for the browsers, because there are free alternatives. But when they provide something with unique value, I think it’s ok to charge for it.
I am curious how they will handle the part where they need (personal) payment information.
Respectable service. Was a bit scared hearing DDG subscription but have no complaints.
for $99 I signed right up. I used the VPN during the beta for PC and it was simple and easy.
has anyone been able to add an Android device? I don’t see the Privacy Pro in my version, despite what the FAQ says. I was hoping being a paying customer would afford me a support opportunity, but alas, no.
Absolutely getting this if it becomes available in my country
Where i can find it ? Can someone give me link?
I had duckduckgo VPN beta in android , although still have, understood that it will soon be gone.
but like… you can’t hide previous URLs from the URL bar. if you can’t do that why would anyone pay for this?
Does anyone know if the vpn works with streaming services?
Sounds a lot like Mozilla Monitor Plus which was introduced a few months ago.
Last night I pinged the DDG by using command
ping www.duckduckgo.com
And I have got an IP address and it shows me Microsoft Corporation as the Organization IP Location
Anyone has any idea about why the pinged ip is related to Microsoft
What’s that mean " private " you telling me it’s like chrome selling my data if i don’t upgrade?
Hmmm, maybe i switch go DuckDuckGo and buy pro version now
Currently using Brave

Have anyone tested the VPN far? Is it located in USA?
are these VPN dedicated servers in the United States? because if so doesn’t that make them subject to FBI search and seizure. I would think these servers would need to be in another country
How much involved is Microsoft behind this new subscription model?
I feel happy for OP and everybody here who is excited by this, but when I click Get Privacy Pro I am told “Currently available to U.S. residents”.
Based on my experience of other browsers that offer extra services, I am not going to rely on it ever being available to me.
