Hi Guys,
I notice a lot of df members are starting to discuss VPN providers. So I want to know who of you use a VPN? Why you use a VPN? What provider do you use?
I'm looking to invest in a VPN.
Thanks :)

If anyone wants a months free trial, let me know, I think I can give out up to 5 per month or something.
News hosting :-) only started using one as I've increased my use of torrents recently

I've been using private internet access for the last 12 months service always up many servers to choose from, does appear to max out at 20meg though, no problems with it looking for a new provider at the moment too got the current connection on offer so comparing services at the mo
I recently started with private Internet access after researching heavily, I just wanted to see what the hype was about and the app which manages the connections is very simple and you can select a server from most places in the world to view get restricted websites as an alternative to hola.
Yeah if I don't use ssl for some reason my 150mbit connection drops to about 1mbit. Wonder why that is.Quote:

yep that why never bothered with anymore than that, I've never been throttled on zen or sky in 10 years using newsgroups and SSL the last 4-5 years as you say if they really wanted to the could decrypt it all but im not a heavy user no more than 100gb a month, was reading other week uk avg is now around 60gb , sure if i could get anything faster than the speed below id probably download moreQuote:

I use Slick VPN, it's in association with my news provider but I got both for a ridiculous lifetime price years ago.
They emailed me an other the other day, hence the thread :) my concern is selling off/revealing my data.Quote:

Look at private internet access you get 5 connections with them, was a factor in signing with them for another year for meQuote:

I let my sister use the a couple of connections at her house and I use three at home. Never had any issues.Quote:

I also would love to check out an option for VPN traffic. I am looking for a reliable one in Europe though so I can grab stream some football matches back to the states and get around location check.
