[QUOTE="jetman, post: 877337, member: 63028"] Interesting answers- thanks. I’m only playing around with VPNs for a bit of light entertainment ! I mainly use them for a) spoofing my location to access geo-restricted content, b) hiding my IP if I want to stream a pirate film on my Amazon Firestick, and c) logging in to public wi-if if I really have to. I like the idea of stopping my ISP snooping on me though- they probably collect marketing statistics from users browsing habits even if they claim otherwise. Windscribe and Freedome also offer some ad blocking which is a bonus. But if I wanted to do something highly secretive (which I don’t) I’d avoid the Internet altogether. I’m pretty convinced the governments of this world have the technology to see EVERYTHING we do online- VPN, TOR or otherwise ! [/QUOTE]
