[QUOTE="AXYZE, post: 925725, member: 85827"] VPNs in general. Why? Because they lie. In terms of "privacy" - you are redirecting whole traffic through one VPN server from VPN provider that you know nothing about which has its server or rents server space from another company, about which you also dont know anything. Now, you have people that work there, someone needs to install hardware, someone needs to supply hardware... too many points where someone could install some sort of "blackbox" which could intercept a lot of data. Lets say someone tried to install "blackbox" at "xxx"VPN and "xxx"VPN saw unusual traffic and they manage to fix that - would they tell people about such problem problem? No. No VPN company would tell you about such thing because they would lose customers which is only thing that matters to them. They just want to earn money and they wont risk to lose anything in order to save you, a $3/mo subscriber. VPN is like MiTM, but with your knowledge and you also want to pay for it. It is just centralized alternative for "less centralized" internet. Its good if you want to bypass censorship, geoblocking, hide your IP or something like that, but its not "magic heal for all bad things" like companies try to tell you. [/QUOTE]
