Not sure what you mean by “directly,” there are going to be strong financial ties to any VPN provider one chooses, and as such, they are no better than running your own in a lot of circumstances.
- adrianN 6y agoIf the VPN provider doesn't keep logs, you have plausible deniability that it was in fact your traffic coming out of that exit node.
- jolux 6y agoHow can I trust they don’t keep logs?
- wutwutwutwut 6y agoSame way you trust hey.com not share all your email with everyone publicly. By building some kind of trust, describing how they work, their policies, being clear about how they make money and so on.
- jolux 6y agoI don’t know of any VPN provider as trustworthy as DHH and Basecamp.
- wutwutwutwut 6y agoThat's not relevant.
- jolux 6y agoSure it is! All of my network traffic is going over a VPN. Not the case with email.
- abc-xyz 6y agoIt’s sad to think VPN logs might be accepted as a source of truth. They probably are in most countries, but they really shouldn’t be. If your crime is downloading Frozen, and the authorities can’t find any trace of the movie on the device the logs claim was used, then it would be shameful if the logs alone were enough to convict the person.
- Dylan16807 6y agoIt shouldn't be trivial to find you if someone wants to file a lawsuit. Everyday p2p shouldn't be dangerous. If you have a server, allocated an IP, and someone sees that IP... that's a pretty direct tie.
- stordoff 6y ago> there are going to be strong financial ties to any VPN provider one chooses Not if you pay with cash (such as Mullvad). Then it depends on what they can infer from your traffic.
