Well, these days the truth doesn't matter and lying is accepted as normal.
Say it truth or deception, the VPN industry is booming. Expected to grow to $36 Billion by 2022. That's Jaw-Dropping.
FEAR motivates people. Religion and republicans have been using that strategy forever.
As soon as laws are passed to force them to log everything, business will die.
For daily activities and work, one thing that I care about is if my connection is secure (encrypted) or not. I subscribe to a vpn provider.
Even though, I downloaded Wireshark to perform a test, and I realized that when my computer had vpn router as gateway (either PPTP or L2TP with encryption ON), some of the information were clean plain texts.
After that, I started to use this vpn router as gateway only for my xbox.
Today I have installed the vpn software on my PC and phone (gateway is my ISP), and it truly encrypts. Wireshark doesn't show the information in this case.
Or they all move to the Netherlands. It is like a pirate radio for the MillennialsQuote:

I remember SecureIX and Hotspot Shield 0.937 and when finding even paid services was hard :coffee:Quote:
