Thread: Concealing IP address from VPN provider

  1. #11
    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 Millennials

    I agree with your sentiment but I still use one just to avoid getting that letter through the post saying I`ve been spotted downloading 'Chas and Dave' or something. Unless C&D get back together (I think now dead) and trace me via VPN logs then I think I am safe and didn`t get that crappy be nice letter

    Which router are you using?

    I didn't look for a credible source to dispute that claim, but that site has 'dodgy af' written all over it.

    The only ranklist I'd trust is the one on TorrentFreak Even then, they've been accused of bias towards the services that advertise there.

    And of course, there's always the possibility of renting a server, then setting up a VPN yourself. That way you know what you have, what you'll get and what's logged, and the only "higher power" you're subject to is the hosting provider.
