For a competitive market product (VPN services) Free = Inferior Cracked = Useless as abused by botnets, spambots.. (Think twice of sharing same IPs) VPN is a virtual private network, not a firewall. using VPN just gives less information to your ISP and ALL of your information to a private network that you imagine is secure. specially using VPN for banking is the worst case coz you're literary handing over your accounts data to a private network. I feel alot safer without VPN and if i ever need a VPN hotspot shield is enough for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the stupidest thing I have ever head. The VPN encryption would just a an extra layer. With or without VPN anyone can sniff up the traffic going from one place to another. That is why we use TLS and certificates to avoid tampering and eavesdropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read in the links to make up your minds, I would also check out Privatoria security solutions, Most If Not All VPN's offer a months subscription (some a free trial) to (test the waters) of speed and service in general. Biased sites (affiliated links) of VPN's reviews are for the most self serving but, one's that offer user comments would be helpful if found within these.

I caught AnonVPN offered for a lifetime license, with a Nonkly Disposal Email: Lifetime Subscription on the deal. AnonVPN Statement: We make it possible for you to use the Internet with total anonymity by combining a high quality ZERO LOG VPN service with a voucher code payment system. Because you buy the voucher codes/prepaid cards elsewhere no personally identifying information of yours is kept on our servers. No credit card details, no PayPal accounts, not even Bitcoin addresses. The only thing we have of yours is an email address (which we don't verify) and we recommend NOT using your primary email. Make an email just for us or use a completely made up one. We have no need to email you unless you have a tech support issue. Check out our privacy policy, which also contains a "canary clause" regarding our NO LOGS policy. [Very close if not the same as Privatoria - that not knowing who a user is by means of vouchers, and since not even an email is used the reason of my Special Note at the bottom of post] --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- AS for Privatoria- The VPN supports all modern protocols including L2TP/IPSec and OpenVPN, however, according to the provider, support for PPTP and SSTP hasn’t yet been optimized. Encryption Privatoria uses encryption on all servers. The most widely used encryption type is AES. For L2TP/IPSec VPN connections, it uses AES 256-bit encryption and SHA 256-bit user authentication. OpenVPN support is offered with AES 128-bit encryption and SHA 128-bit user authentication. OpenVPN can currently be used over UDP ports 1194 and 53. What would make the service stand out even more in the future, is if Privatoria will roll out support for OpenVPN with 256-bit encryption as well as PPTP and SSTP. The proxy services currently use HTTP, while, according to the provider, SOCKS5 will also become available in the near future. Customers’ private cabinet is secured by SSL 4096-bit keys and SHA-256 authentication. Passwords are encrypted with the Blowfish algorithm. The Anonymous Email service utilises SSL 4096 digital signatures and SHA-256 user authentication. OpenPGP encryption is also on the roadmap. Secure Chat is based on WebRTC technology and is protected by DTLS. Secure FTP supports both use SSL and TLS security methods (though the provider recommends TLS if your FTP clients supports it), while Secure Cloud Storage is protected by SSL 4096-bit keys.

sid_16 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 30 Sites For Legal (and Free) Torrents. I don't know if its appropriate to post this here or not but if its found inappropriate or off topic please feel free to delete it. SOURCE- http://www.techsupportalert.com/cont...e-torrents.htmAlthough bittorrent has a reputation for illegally distributing copyrighted content, there is a large, and rapidly growing amount of content in bittorrent that is legally distributable. Much of this is issued under a Creative Commons license which allows you to copy, distribute, advertise and play as long as you give credit to the artist. Some also allow altering for mixes as long as credit is given to the artist. Most of this content is music audio and is from up and coming artists. There are some current movies from independent producers, but most is older movies in the Public Domain. There is some content from mainstream popular music, mostly live concerts, but a few popular artists have released their content over bittorrent. All of the content at these sites is legal to download and distribute. I have never heard of a fake or infected torrent at these sites (but I suppose they could exist) and there is no worry about copyright legalities. In addition to these sites, any torrent search site will index legal torrents. A search for public domain, open source or creative commons will usually bring up a substantial list. Any Linux distribution will almost always be available also. This article is part of a series of articles on bittorrent here at Gizmo's Freeware. If you are not familiar with bittorrent, then before using this article you should read this: How To Use Torrents Archive.org The Internet Archive has just opened its torrents section, which offers over 1 million items from its collection for free download through torrents.

DoubleVPN : User >>> VPN server 1 >>> VPN server 2 >>> Internet TorOverVPN : User >>> VPN server >>> Tor Network >>> Internet I think there are 60+ Germany (P2P friendly) You can check here https://nordvpn.com/servers/ I found most of their servers P2P friendly ofc I didnt test all. Even were I using a non-P2P server and initiate torrent software, the VPN client will automatically re-route bittorrent protocol to their P2P servers. Connecting to two VPNs simultaneously.
