So VPNs nowadays are meant to protect from this, but how can someone trust a VPN not to sell the details of what you've been downloading? Is it really worthwhile to use one when the VPN provider may actually in some cases be more likely to sell this data?
- pizzazzaro 6y agoI mean... How much do you trust your VPN provider? Looking at this site? Its fun to see what my fellow VPN users at the same IP are doing. No attribution, just all of us.
- Sebb767 6y agoI mean, it pretty much comes down to how much you trust your VPN. Depending on your jurisdiction, trusting someone that is legally forced to keep logs vs some who's income and reputation depends on not doing so might the best bet (through VPNs definitely have survived giving out shady data). Also, if your VPN is located somewhere exotic and just somewhat uncooperative, the bureaucratic overhead of getting the logs, getting the IP, sending the request to your VPN and then matching the result with your ISP might be long enough for the logs to expire.
- jiveturkey 6y ago> how can someone trust a VPN not to sell the details you can't. but, you could use 2 nested vpn services, which would help if you can know that the 2 aren't affiliated with each other ... which you can't know. i mean, it's hilarious that VPN services suggest privacy as one of their selling features. lol.
