Anyone permanently using a VPN (e.g. for home traffic) that you can recommend?

  I only use a VPN for: - Spoofing my geo-location - Securing my phone's traffic when surfing on a 'free' or tariff-ed wireless hotspot Sure, the provider might not keep logs, but it's certainly not for casual surfing, or heavy surfing. Stick to old reliables like TLS, TOR, and ADBlockers for vanilla /ISP connections You might want to read these concerning VPNs and privacy: - http://blog.hidemyass.com/2011/09/23/lulzsec-fiasco/ http://blog.hidemyass.com/2011/09/23/lulzsec-fiasco/ - https://torrentfreak.com/police-seize-two-perfect-privacy-vpn-servers-160902/ https://torrentfreak.com/police-seize-two-perfect-privacy-vp...

  I run everything through TorGuard. It's low cost and is somewhat reliable. They have lots of servers in many locations. Honestly, the most annoying part is that I see more CAPTCHAs. This is because it mixes everyone's traffic together, and some of those users are bound to be bad actors.

  OpenVPN on a couple of low end VPSs, depending on where I want to appear to be. It's a breeze to set up [0] and I can know for sure that logging is disabled. Of course, I have to trust the VPS provider not to snoop, but I'm not doing anything that would warrant attention from authorities, I just don't trust this government to have the infosec chops to protect my data.
