It's only $40.00 a year and from what I understand it will secure your data from it's server's to your pc and your ISP only see that there is data, but will not know what the data is. It's important if you get a VPN that you get one that is headquartered where they aren't afraid of the US government and won't give into it like all the US companies we are hearing of.
I also use the TOR browser found at www.torproject.org
This browser bounces you around a bunch of relays and mixes you in with other users so no one knows who is searching or looking at what.
Then on my mobile phone along with my VPN from proxy.sh I use orbot which is from guardianproject.info this will put me in the same relay network as the tor project. Then I use the orweb browser for my phone also from guardianproject.info. You can find the mobile apps on google play, but guardianproject says the some have put up fake links in google play so that your browsing won't be secure. It's best to follow the links to google play from their website or download it direct from them. |
i will look into vpn's if my isp starts blocking torrents. filesharing through torrents and government censorship are the main reasons for vpns. torrentfreak.com has a review of about 10 vpns. i really haven't researched fully but i would trust torrentfreak's recommendations since they come from torrent community. ipredator is the pirate bay's vpn. since pirate bay is thee top torrent website and the target of governments, i would think their vpn is one of the most trustworthy. if you read the article in wiki about tor, you will see they get over 80 percent funding from US government. tor is mainly to use in china. not sure i would trust them for privacy. not familiar with others you mentioned.
