Which VPN providers truly take privacy and security seriously?

by lairdo . Updated 13 years, 6 months ago

Hello,

I just wanted to bounce this question off a couple of folks. I currently use https://vpnme.com but wondering if there were any other good providers out there.

Which VPN providers truly take privacy and security seriously?

I at one time used HMA, and thought they were good and honest until they turned over logs which they claimed they did not have, so I wonder what else they collect data on!!! After checking on eff.org the US is one of only a few places that does not have a required data retention policy. This means there is no required logging.

Are there truly other VPN providers that still take privacy, annominity and security seriously??

Here are my Thoughts:

Any VPN provider that has a bandwidth cap IS LOGGING.
Any VPN provider that does not accept bitcoin is not helping you be anonymous.
Any VPN provider that does not offer a NAT or Proxy mode is not protecting you.
Any VPN provider that wants more than your email, password and minimal payment information should not to be trusted.
Any VPN provider in the European Union will not protect you ( such as HMA which is why I switched to https://VPNme.com ). They have the DRD as of 2006. Cheak it out at eff.org. https://www.eff.org/issues/mandatory-data-retention.

Thoughts, additions, am I crazy or do I just like my privacy?
