[dba-Tech] VPN

[Jim Lawrence]

Here is supposedly the latest and greatest VPNs:

No tracking, number and speed of servers as well as encryption are the attributes.

I suppose that VPN services could be used for nefarious purposes but it is not that you have nothing hide it is that you have nothing to share.

I'm getting nagged by Avast to use their VPN.  I'm seeing more ads and buzz
about VPNs.  I'm not sure I have anything to hide, but the intrusiveness of
Google and Microsoft make me want to anonymize myself.

 

But IIUC, my VPN provider still knows everything I do, yes?  So aren't I
just switching several repositories of my on-line activity to one specific
vendor whom I will have to trust?
