No, I'm being completely serious. VPN's are a legitimate service with legitimate uses. Anonymity has merit even if you are 100% legal. I can't imagine someone being convicted of a crime based on only their participation with a VPN service. Sure, you are still trusting a 3rd party to do what it is they say that they will, but I don't see why people care if the government or whoever knows that they use a VPN service. Hell, I use one for work and I don't expect that the government will be knocking on my door because of it.
- chc 14y agoYou're arguing with something nobody ever said. The point isn't that using an anonymous VPN is a crime, but that people who use an anonymous/private VPN are more likely to have something to hide, which means you'll find a lot of people committing crime there.
- kmkemp 14y agoThere is ample discussion on this page regarding the anonymous subscription option of bitcoins. The post I responded to claims: "Reality check: if your credit card details are visible to a third party - you're not anonymous." But that's missing the point since keeping the users' activity anonymous is what matters... not that they are customers.
