Have a look at other services and tell me if they have better privacy..I think what you are not getting is they use static IP'S which basically makes it impossible to track any single user to that IP..But anyway like i said make your own choice..But i would be interested if you could point me in a better direction :)

well ive been using btguard myself

in theory your best bet is to use 2 vpns at once and double tunnel it which is doable i just bought 1 month subscription to pia

so now my internet traffic goes from Cleveland tn to pia Ontario Toronto servers then on to btgaurds servers again in Toronto "less lag that way"

using http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/smsniff.html i can tell it works

I use HideMyAss and have done so for the last 2 years. It works very well for me. I can stream Netflix in HD with no issues as well. They are very reliable, and the customer service was great the one time I needed it.

I use PIA as well.

Being based in the USA can actually be an asset. The US does not legal require VPN services to keep logs.....Several or many other countries do require logging.

Since PIA says it does not log anything and does not monitor traffic, it would be difficult for PIA to track anything back to you.

That said. If you are downloading content you are probably 100% safe as their is an infinitely small possibility that a content owner would ever be able to track you down.

When law enforcement becomes involved regarding illegal activity (not referring to DMCA as they aren't looking for that) all bets are off. It would be almost impossible to completely hide from them and they could most likely find you if they took the effort even if you used more than one VPN.

Don't forget that even without logging by the fact that you log in there is some kind of log involved by verifying your login. This could be pegged to a VPN server and time on that server. With enough effort you could be found. They could also get a court order requiring PIA to log connections headed somewhere or from some geographic location.

And don't forget, you may have cookies or persistent session data on the computer from a non VPN session that could be accessed

You can only be safe up to a certain point

@myna im guessing one should avoid kepard

@myna im guessing one should avoid kepard

Yup.... I won't comment on that as things have changed from the time I emailed them.

Recently there has been a change in the law. European Court of Justice has declared Europe’s Data Retention directive to be a violation of Internet users’ privacy. The Data Retention directive required EU Internet providers and other telecom companies to log and store their subscribers’ data. With the new ruling these companies are no longer required to log extensive amount of user data.

IDK if Kepard benefitted from this. But a few VPN providers certainly did. Maybe Kepard did too.

I've used Kepard and I must say, its good.
