Why would VPN providers need to log but VPS providers don't?
- aphextron 8y ago>Why would VPN providers need to log but VPS providers don't? It's a question of obfuscation. A private VPN provider is receiving explicit logs of every single URL request you make, and has access to the actual machine processing the request. A VPS provider cannot. With an IPSEC tunnel terminated inside the VM, there's no way they can see your incoming traffic. They could monitor your outgoing traffic in theory, but would have to be specifically looking for this and targeting you.
- tlrobinson 8y agoIf you're the only one using a private VPN run on a VPS then they effectively have access to the same information: your IP address and all of your traffic. I'm just curious why VPNs would be required to log but VPS aren't if they can be used for the same purposes. Is it just because VPNs are more likely to be used for illegal purposes?
