 Which VPN Providers Protect Your Privacy? Monday Mar 17 2014 08:29 EDT With a growing number of ISPs playing content nanny (as seen in the "six strikes" copyright warning system), an equally growing number of users are turning to VPNs and proxies to hide their behavior from the ever-watchful eye of their Internet service provider. Others simply have on eye squarely fixed on true security. Torrent Freak has been taking an annual look at which VPN services retain user information and logs, how they handle DMCA takedown notices, under which conditions they share user data with third parties, which payment systems they use and more. It's a pretty handy breakdown for VPN users and worth a read. |

another biased listordered by who paid TF the most for placement. major privacy players like airvpn and ibvpn are omitted as they would not pay extortion money.
good article pointing out privacy issues, but anyone believing a USA based VPN like PIA keeps you safer is only kidding themselves.
about half of the providers listed may require real information during registration or payment, which is major privacy issue that article ignores.
any VPN that asks more than an email address a password you designate, and your public IP (it gets automatically) is a VPN to be avoided. as long as they somehow can get your money, they should not care at all who you really are. | |
How about .. |
