Re: torrent download woes - vpn as the way to get around them

said by GermanVPN :

Air VPN. I see the full speed of whatever I get that night ( DSL ) through them. No limits on anything. Over 40 servers to choose from so you can jump around to one that's got good speed. No time limit ( so I've been on one for over a week ) on the connection which is great.

Agreed, I use them as well! Very good service.

I use a TP-LInk WR842ND ($40) with DDWRT loaded (this model support the OpenVPN client).

A note about AirVPN, they are operated out of Italy, any legal action would have to come from local authorities as they do not recognize US or Canadian jurisdiction.

Requests for account details are ignored and hold no weight with them.

i use mullvad.net. send them cash in the mail and they store nothing. even if they did untraceable cash in the mail is best.
they also give you a day free. on my TSI connection i got 1.8MB/s no problem.

Be careful of which VPN you use. I backtracked a lot of VPN's and some of them have several nnames but are under the same roof.

I have a tough time believing that US VPN's are safe.

Ideally, you want a storage box that will collect what you want and then a tunnel...and then....go with a ISP provider that has the least amount of data retention times.

While the AirVPN lookup is exciting, that is the host of their website frontpage. Having paid for the service its fairly obvious where the funds are going (Italy) and where the company itself is registered out of. I also don't see mention of Leaseweb, based out of the Netherlands who are a part of the service.

I don't really care where they choose to host their North American website. I care where the business is registered, which is in Italy.

This.

Domain registration is one thing, VPN server and business registration is another.

Also, Domains By Proxy LLC is listed as the registrant. This is a service specifically used to protect the privacy of the domain owner.

So who actually owns AirVPN.org?

IIRC, DomainsByProxy is owned by GoDaddy... and we know how well they supported customers back when SOPA was an issue. Just saying...
