Sinister Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Anyone here use one? Thinking about subscribing to one; can someone break down pros and cons? Also, any companies you'd recommend? Does it matter what country they are based in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dub Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 for the sake of watching US TV streams? edit: nah I'm getting confused with proxys why would you need a VPN? you want access to private devices (servers, printers, etc) from somewhere remote?

You're thinking too logically or almost sounds the 1st result from google response with that last line. You had it right 1st line, early adaptors were doing it for the Netflix/Hulu but add to that the anonymity that can be had and sometimes security depending on what you're using..

dub Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 oh right, but why would one use VPN over Proxy Servers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 A proxy is just an intermediary between you and whatever you need it for e.g. fooling Netflix. A VPN gives full encryption, but dependent on whether they keep logs and which country jurisdiction it falls in... / Tor does not give anonymous surfing, you still need to use a VPN before you use tor otherwise whoever is snooping will know you're using tor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One endpoint ain't shit anyway. You need to have multiple endpoints to be in it to at least sniff at a chance. One thing with VPN which most people should find useful is the layer of security on public hotspots when out and about if that's you. U only have to look at heartbleed to understand the potential.

kg307 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Bought one from PIA earlier today - https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/buy-vpn/ Got some good reviews £4.24 a month Free vpns are normally a lot slower, limit bandwidth, adverts, some keep logs. It's better than nothing tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
