[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 982822, member: 83059"] Honestly, the idea of anonymity once data is collected is more of a pipe dream than a reality. A VPN is going to know your IP when you connect to it. Just like services (including F-Secure Cloud and other cloud AV / sandbox solutions) which collect filenames / file samples from your computer and then “promises” to anonymize it or not pay attention to sensitive details. Companies can try to fight attempts to intercept/deanonymize this information, but the only foolproof way is to not collect it at all in the first place. Otherwise, especially if your vendor’s government thinks that someone is breaking their law, it’s pretty hard to fight handing over information you have. [/QUOTE]
