    Why Paid VPN is Preferable Over Free VPN?

    Hello, I thought about getting VPN subscription but used some of VPN's free services. I am not sure what speeds are good or poor but I got around 2-5MB/s on some of them. On others I would get twice of that. Do I still need paid subscription if I want to use VPN for online banking and surfing...

    I was going to buy an IaaS server and setup a VPN so I wouldn't have to use a VPN service. This introduced me to SOCKS5. 1. a) Years ago when I used IaaS I don't remember so many bandwidth restrictions on cheaper tiers. Is it feasible to route heavy traffic without spending a fortune? b) I see...

    Free VPNs Are Not Really Free

    There's a perception that free VPNs provide an almost charitable privacy service. Users who are censored by their own government, for example, typically can't afford subscription VPN services, and often turn to free alternatives to circumvent oppressive restrictions.

    Don't Look Now but Some VPN Providers Have Been Leaking User IP Addresses

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but VPN's are supposed to provide user anonymity aren't they? However, it appears a lot of VPN providers have been leaking customers IP addresses via the WebRTC bug and some of them didn't even know what that was. To top it off some VPN providers are keeping...
