While I don't wholeheartedly agree with the honeypot allegation, I do agree that you should take most VPN providers with a grain of salt, be it that they are in fact a honeypot, occasionally leak data, or do shady things like actually inspect traffic.
An additional use, and the one I use VPNs for from time to time, is to throw off ad-network information and avoid over-disclosing information about myself.
- duaneb 13y agoI'm quite sorry, I didn't intend to imply that PIA is a honeypot. I use PIA every day (I'm using it now!). My point was to say that at the end of the day, we must assume the government has access to all servers and services potentially subject to National Security Letters until proven otherwise. If the government wants to snoop on you, a VPN is one NSL away from having full access to all future use unless you hide your identity and money trail very carefully.
