    I use one. Whatever is going to free at the time. Used loads they are about a muchness really. I don't do much dodgy stuff aside from download a few torrents. So my VPN, currently 'okay freedom' just sits on my torrent server. If I want to do some browsing or anything else I'll fire up a tails os USB.

    i don't really trust the VPN providers these days any more than the ISPs.

    Hey guys,

    After looking through the suggestions you provided I thought maybe I should offer a VPN service as I can control the lack of logs etc. As a few of you know I am redesigning my entire web hosting website. So I did a quick mock up last night.

    I need your opinions my VPN redesign; what do you honestly think?

    I host one for a mate of mine on my Mac. He only connects through his iPhone for betting sites but it works.
    It does go down occasionally and I have to kick it, but it is a Mac OS X built in function - VPN Enabler is needed though to set it up (Free).

    Used it on Android not on IOS - Used very briefly in Beijing in the last week, seemed to work fine.

    Think I paid $40 for a year so £10 seems a good deal.

    I could be completely wrong, but I would be pretty scared about setting up a VPN provider, especially if the company and hardware was to be based in the UK.

    It wouldn't surprise me if the big players (American film companies, record labels, etc.) would consider you an easy target.

    Also just wondering, why on earth would you provide SSD storage for your clients accessing over the net? Even with a 100Mb connection, a shitty old IDE 5400rpm drive should be able to saturate the connection.
