The interesting part about this is that the ISPs pay for it. I didn't know that. Forcing someone to pay for you to spy on them is ballsy.
- drdaeman 13y agoVPNs do protect against rogue networks like a hacker sitting on the same open hotspot and listening for credentials. In a more global way, unless you're fine with one high-grade adversary spying on you, but not others (i.e. good with NSA, but not so happy with FSB), VPNs don't provide any real security.
- borski 13y agoRight. I tend to trust my country with my data more than a foreign country. That may be wrong, but it's how I currently feel. Not sure why my earlier post is being downvoted =\
- ForHackernews 13y ago* I tend to trust my country with my data more than a foreign country.* That's probably a misguided attitude. Your own country is in a much better position to persecute you than some random foreign power.
