FarLine99What VPN do you use to hide traffic from your ISP?

Why? Prices? Convenience? Trust?
The price is good, I’ve used them for many years and I’ve never had a problem.

Reasonable 🙂
Lexi SneptaurPersonally for me all three. They offer OVPN profiles to connect even without using their software and their privacy policy includes a “no logs” clause
It’s a solid point, but VPN companies have violated “no logs” policies in the past.
Cyberstalking Suspect Arrested After VPN Providers Shared Logs With the FBI
VPN providers often advertise their products as a method of surfing the web anonymously, claiming they never store logs of user activity, but a recent criminal case shows that at least some, do store user activity logs.
That’s concerning, but so far so good with PIA

Some have pointed at Kape’s history. The company had previously operated under the name Crossrider and was active in the advertising space. Among other things, it installed toolbars with ‘potentially unwanted software.’ While the company has since switched to a focus on cybersecurity, this past has made some people suspicious.
Private Internet Access to Be Acquired by Kape * TorrentFreak
Popular VPN provider Private Internet Access (PIA) is set to be acquired by Kape Technologies. This will transform the company into a major player in the VPN industry. The deal has sparked a lively debate about Kape’s intentions and PIA’s future, but the company stresses that it remains committed to protecting the privacy of its users.
I use PIA in spite of this because their excellent privacy policy has not changed since this purchase. If their policy changes I will drop them like a bad habit.
vvvvanI also use PIA, for many years now. The performance for price has always been fantastic, along with their policies. However, I’m becoming worried about the company now, noticing signs of bad health. Software development and updates have stopped (I’ve now switched to OpenVPN). Help and documentation has stopped (and blog/news). Customer service seems extremely understaffed as well.
Thanks for sharing this. I might cancel my subscription if things don’t improve then.
