what level of anonymity do VPNs provide from determined adversaries ? An adversary can trace a IP connection to the requesting VPN and then he could subpoena the infrastructure provider -- be it AWS or DO or a datacenter for their clients using that IP address . If the expected payout is large enough, adversary could deploy more resources to collect this data and sue the VPN User.
- TACIXAT 9y agoYou shouldn't be using a VPN for anonymity. You should be using it to protect your traffic from ISP and to hide your personally associated IP from tracking. It moves your trust from your ISP to your hosting provider. If you need anonymity, there are tools for that, but their usage costs are high. If you need to truly operate anonymously it comes with an enormous amount of preparation and opsec. You originating IP should not be one that is associated with you. You definitely shouldn't be paying for hosting with a credit card in your name.
