I don’t really have anything to back this up except a nagging feeling that all the marketing, hype, and buzzwords simply aren’t true.
Local ISPs have legal restrictions from the federal down to the local level in terms of how they handle your data. You give them a huge monthly bill. You are their customer. AFAIK VPNs operate without any legal requirements. They can say whatever they want. I flat out don’t believe their marketing about privacy, logging, or otherwise. They can pay youtubers to say whatever they want.
In fact I’d go so far as to say someone is pushing for everyone to get a VPN. By all means access your everything through an unregulated server run by an unknown entity that can do whatever it wants.
They don't even protect you now. Your ISP keeps full logs of your router's traffic. Government can work around them and also getting the VPN's logs on you. Your device is often also keeping another record of activity downloads cookies scripts. This can be accessed by your OS, your security software, and browsers.
They are such a cunt, on the other cunts wanting your location. Like ordering from Amazon, Uber, even Twitter tracks where you are, if you are logging from a phone, they do anyway when you need a registered phone. Also the really evil fucks like your playstation or Xbox. Email. Sooner the majority of sites like bank and even doctors. But the VPN fucks them up. No longer do they take your I.D, it is you logging in. A VPN has changed your virtual location. Now all these other places tracking you panic and start sending codes. Making your VPN redundant. Sure they might not know where you are browsing. They know where you are even though your location has changed.
The main thing is VPNs can get around certain domain restrictions. You can be virtually where ever, easier access to other sites away from your domain. They stop any sites visited keeping a record of you. All these fucko sites please allow cookies because we value your privacy, no you fucking don't.
Don't talk out of your ass, please.
TOR is better in every conceivable way.

They also developed TCP/IP - aka "The Internet"..............
I want to believe
You have no idea what you are talking about. You deflect one point in a heap of points to chat bullshit to me about one VPN company. It didn't turn logs over to Turkey. Haha. Was it a European VPN provider. I am wetting myself.
Do VPNs keep logs. They don't even need too, if the information could be accessed by a bunch of other means. Like through your ISP logging you. You switching on a VPN try it. Fucks up email, xbox, Amazon, your phone, uber, Twitter and a bunch of other stuff tracking you. Your PC scripts everything in windows 10, your antivirus scripts activity, your internet browser scripts activity.
A VPN didn't comply with Turkey. Yawn. Try that in CHINA do a search. Now the UK and America. Not Europe yet. What does it say. VPNs will have to hand over records.
Don't chat shit to me.
You cannot read makes sense.
Stop huffing paint, and giving bad privacy advice.
I haven't given any privacy advice to you.
I have said VPNs give some privacy but that gap is closing fast.
You want me to reiterate for your stupid can't read shit dumbass illiterate drug infused head.
Have you got a main email. Or on your smart phone. Switch your VPN to your router. What happens. New location detected reeerwar reeerwar sirens. Codes are sent. Everytime you move I.Ps into another country. Unusual activity some sites lock you down can't operate until reverting back to your registered I.P. The same for Xbox, playstation. Amazon. Twitter. Uber. And a host of services tracking you to your household address via your IP. Even other stuff. Sooner idiot everything else in this dystopian future. Banking, doctors etc etc.
The VPN might hide you from sites bulkcollecting your info. Horrible fucks. Video games. Streaming. Press. Etc. You might get an email that doesn't track needing an address and telephone number. Some social media that don't need phone numbers.
But fucko the gap is closing. Meanwhile they work around. All the other stuff they are tracking you from. If they wanted to find you. They can. Meanwhile your OS is tracking you by windows 10 now. Google your search engine. Your virus software. Your ISP.
Sure some VPNs are not bound by national courts until much higher legislation intervenes like the Supreme or European court. Requestering logs from them. Again that gap is closing. China America even possibly the Uk.
What are you paying a VPN for, it is almost getting to be pointless. Except for the website with little Hitler's and thieves on. They are more ignorant until they just get you to download some of their shit.
Facebook bought and advertised a VPN to track what users are doing on other apps and crush competition.

Here's a great video on VPNs and the marketing nonsense of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTS17WzsZz8
This was really good
Sounds about right
People that use VPN’s love tranny porn.
Older processors don't. But every modern one does. Intel calls it their "management engine"
Although apparently System76 disables it on their laptops.
You are all high debating this. Gates et al have had a birdseye view of all data from the beginning. This "idea" of privacy has all of you duped .
I have a hunch that one of their uses is to honeypot trap pedos, who can then be blackmailed if they are in a position of influence,
Well then what the hell should I do. IP banned on my phone on twitter for absolutely no reason other than following accounts twitter doesnt like.
I feel the issue Im having on youtube is related as well. On my phone, i have to solve like 5 recaptcha tests to see the video. Every single time.
Any ideas?
You just hit the nail on the head...
Use your absolute proof that it's you credit card to pay for 'anonymity'......
Only trust free VPN's, if you pay for it you are leaving more of a trace if anyone ever decides to trace you...
Epic Privacy Browser is free and comes with built in VPN's sorted by geo-location, quick and easy way of online activity on the clearnet when you don't want to be easily trackable(certainly not even remotely secure but it does make things a bit harder for them and potentially a much harder trace than a paid VPN)
A thing that bothers me is that Epic is based on Chromium, and Google is the author and owner of Chromium's code. It's guaranteed that there are backdoors in its code, very likely for government support
Its open source so anyone that know what they are doing would be likely to address such issues(intelligence operatives use android phones pretty much exclusively for this very reason...)
Same way TOR nodes are financed(and there are a hell of a lot of more TOR nodes than the 10 or so free VPN's in epic, and it's a small browser so bandwith is unlikely to be that huge and even less that Opera which has 2.3% of the market)
