Does a VPN actually protect your privacy?

Jeb bush's wife

Yes it's an abomination but I still want to see it with its clothes off

Not in a verifiable way. You have no clue what the VPN is logging and why, and any VPN that claims to keep no logs is a liar because otherwise they literally cannot operate.

Yeah it routes all my traffic home to run on my regular internet instead of some sketchy wifi or constantly tapped cell network.

Privacy from ISP? Sure
Anonymity? No

Educate yourself

TLDR; they do but if any 3 letter organization are after you for some reason, you're fucked even with a VPN

i got nothing to hide.

glow in the darks aren't after me cause i dindu nuffin, but i generally would like to stay out of their dragnets

sauce on midget?

it's because of that mindset no one bothers to go on the moon anymore

>assuming we ever went
>assuming the moon isn't just a holographic projection created by nasa
lol

You will probably have to use open source hardware and non botnet OS.

>assuming NASA is an actual organization and not just a honeypot to keep the masses and employees in an endless loop of misdirection and disinformation.

I would fuck this midget.

>implying you're not just an AI designed by Intel to brainwash me

depends on what they call keep

I don't understand, I'm a virgin.

Pls sauce

From script kiddies and hacker groups who target people to scam? Yes

From state-backed organizations like NSA? They're already monitoring VPN exit nodes en masse.

Always use TLS

If you're connected to a public wi-fi network, using a VPN definitely gives you a layer of protection against snoopers.

>Yes, if you have a VPN that is transparent about its policies (and isn't in the 5/9/14 eyes). However, a VPN is not the end-all for complete privacy (nothing is).
(((transparent)))
(((policies)))

everything

It's ultimately up to personal judgement, but there's enough demand that it's statistically impossible for every one to be a scam. Do you seriously go around wondering if every store you buy from isn't selling your credit card data to the black market, or if every SD card you get has malware preinstalled? You can't be paranoid about broad topics.

Do SD cards have malware or backdoors preinstalled user?

I packet sniff my network so i would find out

can't do that on a vpn

Leverage.

Backdoors, potentially. Malware, probably never from any name brand. Don't be changing the topic. And even if it were more common, the issue at hand is that you can't evaluate the whole industry in one statement.

>or if every SD card you get has malware preinstalled?
>do they?
>don't change the topic
you brought SD cards up you fuckwit

Using your own hosted VPN will not provide advantage, its has more cons

That's a comparable example, not a new point. If you want to argue SD cards, make a new thread.

just use one based in china, the eyes cant see those logs

That's arguably much worse.

Potential threats to (((them))).

and your argument about it being worse than a 5 eyes vpn(those fuckers will lock you up for calling someone a fag), the Chinese don't give a fuck about you

That is unfortunate.

Read the comments, faggot.

That's nearly the opposite of true. China's government has complete access to anything, and it's not unlikely that they're keeping lists of foreign citizens involved in suspicious or controversial actions so that they can use the data for their benefit in international relations.
5 eyes VPNs most likely will send logs to your home country, but the intelligence agencies are looking more for illegal activity and less for inconsequential disputes. I'm not saying they won't put you on a list or something, just that they don't exist for the purpose of finding petty dirt on random people.

i'd give her a job if she can take it up the huge midget ass

>the intelligence agencies are looking more for illegal activity

like copyright infringement?

On that issue I would assume they probably don't care (but I'm not the authority on this).
It's not worth their time to stop people from torrenting finding nemo when there's a guy down the street about to shoot up a kwik trip

So use a VPN that's a pipeline straight to the FBI, that makes no sense, China only cares about Chinese, Jesus Christ they are the kings of copyright infringement, trust be they don't give a fuck what you torrent, they just hope it's some intellectual Western secret stuff

I'm not arguing in favor of the 5 eyes just against the Chinese. Ideally you would use a service in a completely isolated country that isn't subject to any government monitoring, but that does introduce some of its own problems.

Did anyone ever watch the thinnet report that 60 minute did after 9/11? in it they pretty much made the CIA look like dog shit because they actually had detailed plans on Osama's terror attack, but because of protocol at the time they had no way to look for it.
What i'm saying is that if an organization has too many observation tools, the signal to noise ratio pretty much skews heavily in favor of noise. The idea being that if everyone is viewing objectionable content, then no one is because they are going to go through 1000000000 petabytes of people googling how to make bomb.
The same problem is true for being on a watchlist, if they put every retard and their mom on a watchlist, they literally can't watch them all.

No. Most have policies lined out in the TOS that state they will hand over your data if the government requests it. And to be frank, I don’t put it past some of the cheaper ones to be out right selling the information.

that's what AI/machine learning is for and they are using it now to weed through the noise, don't ever underestimate spooks, you will be regretting it in prison

no

because there's nothing to protect the vpn from spying on you

a lot of vpns log the sites you go to and the things you download

Only against non-state actors
Still, better than nothing

In the west? Kind of. Anywhere else? No.

>implying I'm not the only agent entity plugged into a simulation designed to poke and prod the human psyche by alien machines

Kompromat

This

>what do they want to know
Whether you pose a threat to the US. The data they're allowed to share with other agencies (i.e. the DEA) is very limited.

>implying anything actually exists at all

>to the factory! to meet the other oompa loompas!

>Does a VPN actually protect your privacy?
A VPN will protect you if you are a pirate.
A VPN will NOT protect you if you are a terrorists.

>Not connecting from public places in a Laptop with an external Wifi card bought in the black market.

It seems that most of your blood go to your dick instead of your brain.

Imagine this thing impaled by its ass on your dick, her feet not even being able to touch the ground

Lets be fair. You'd look at a car crash too, out of morbid curiosity.

You can wear a mask but if all you talk about is what your real name is and what you do all the time it won't protect shit

I want enthusiastic prostitutes offering me their wears.

no if you want privacy use free chinese proxies that inject eel porn ads into every website

there are no good non-eyes country VPN provider

>implying you don't have driven yourself into a coma because the aliens that beamed you up on their ship and butt fucked you so hard that you passed out of pain1

No. Use Tor.

no, it change who spies on you, from your isp and the governament to the vpn owner and the governament

the vpn might actualy protect you from being spied on by advertisers.
after all, other company that rely on ad might give you data because they rely on them for money.
vpn rely on your money, not the advertisers money.

also i think people forget that vpns wont give you any privacy if you login into anything. login into youtube and google will know what you are doing because they know what goin on their site.
login via vpn will not prevent them knowing who you are.

Hey it's Femanon!

After reading this thread, I can see that a VPN is better than nothing.
So my question is, what are some of the better VPNs on the market? ExpressVPN? NordVPN?

None.

Buy a house in a third world country and install utilities under an alias or under a locals name then install a pi which you tunnel into.

That vid gave me aids

Short answer is no.
Plus you can't post here with a VPN. Against the rules. Almost all services and their IPs have been blocked.
Just give in and admit that having nothing to hide is the best course of action.

>Falling for the 14 eyes meme
You're fucking delusional if you don't think the US government is capable of pwning every single computer connected to the web. Especially if its running x86. Go select a service that actually held up the protection of its users in court. That's the only shit that matters.

How bad idea it would be to use VPS as an openVPN server? What are some good VPS providers that might respect my privacy and don't care if I torrent?
