Topic: VPNs - do you use it - page 2. (Read 3824 times)
I use vpns to get traffic using jingling.
VPNs too keep your logs, once i used it, the company sent me an email that I am downloading a big file with some copyright issues, dont know what was their problem, so i stopped using that service..
True.
It is reliable to bypass IP or country restrictions with VPN, but it is better to use Tor if you want to do something "not so nice".

Not at the moment, I've tried a few free VPNs and they seemed to work quite well.
Most of the time I'll just use Tor for browsing the interwebs.

I use VPN`s when I watch porn and do everything 
The problem with VPNs is that we must assume attackers are capturing every packet on each side of those VPNs. With timing analysis, any substantial amount of time, it is probably possible to deanonymize the traffic flows. VPNs do help on the local side though. Your ISP and the guy sipping a latte next to you would be hard pressed to figure out exactly what you're doing online. Facebook and Google probably still know though unless you disable cookies and other ways to fingerprint your internet applications.
hidemyass accepts bitcoins
they are one of the VPN providers with the most servers&IPs
a server in almost every at least moderately known country
they keep the logs a while too long but if it's specific country IPs you're looking for, this is a VPN to go to

How do you know they are the most secure servers? I don't think they are I think the service which this website uses is one of the best and most secure around hidemyass have been criticized because they have been found to keep records of ips etc.
TOR is much better option than VPN
VPN is much faster than TOR. TOR gave me migraines w/ its slowness. VPNs are cheap.
VPN is safer and stable
Since information transmission between exit nodes and the web is unencrypted, you can expose yourself to the attacker if you do not use a secure SSL site. Even so, vulnerabilities can exist in SSL, such as the heartbleed.

I use a VPN. For anonymity and to get around my ISPs censorship of sites it deems inappropriate. Also useful when I use my tablet away from home. I tried Tor but it was too slow.

TOR will leak the fact that you are using TOR while VPN will not necessarily leak the fact that you are using a VPN. TOR is much slower then most VPNs will be. There are also a lot of sites that block access to TOR exit nodes
True and true.
The best feature of Tor is that it is completely free.
Also if you are ever using a public network (school, library, public wifi, hotel internet) then it would be easy for someone to "listen" to your internet traffic and get credentials to any site that you login to or potentially steal cookies that are sent to you, allowing them to stay logged in to your accounts.
Is/isn't simply using HTTPS on a public wi-fi hotspot secure enough? I thought HTTPS would encrypt all the data between the client and server.
No third-party VPNs for me but ssh tunneling or vpn of some sort is a must if at public wifi. The more people use any of these anonymizing services the better for everyone. Use TOR. Also check out projects like i2p and cjdns to see where things can be going.
Even this site does that apparently. Surprising considering the fact that the founder (satoshi) used Tor himself.
Is that the reason why no one figure out his identity?

Personally I don't use VPN I have nothing to be afraid of. If someone really want to have my info and hack me, get my data or track me they will probably do it with or without VPN. But I agree it can help you with minor things like keeping your basic anonymity.
