Best VPN's using Bitcoin?

[pedrog]

I used private internet access and I'm a little worried no one has mentioned them.  Any experience with them?

Accepts bitcoin.  Fast.  Multiple access points across the world.  No logging.

I've read good reviews about this one, I went with torguard because it was the cheapest I could find.

No logging.

The thing about logging is that it's not possible for a VPN provider to prove they don't keep logs, nor can they prove they will never start keeping logs in the future if ordered by a court.

Never depend on a third party not keeping logs. Assume they are logging everything and if that's a problem then protect yourself via other means (connect to the VPN service through Tor, etc).

Any example speeds and ping? I'm leaning towards AirVPN currently especially considering their status page here: https://airvpn.org/status/

Random check Speedtest.net just gave me 144 ms ping, 5.7 Mbps down / 0.75 Mbps up. Actual speeds are somewhat higher because I was using the connection for other things at the same time.

Had to replace the machine I was using as a router and that gave me the opportunity to test again with an otherwise idle connection. New results are:

66 ms, 23.3/4.0 Mbps

That's true. US does not have data retention laws but gov can get logs whenever they want.
So basically i don't trust US and European countries.

Here is a list of countries that doesn't have data retention laws.


Argentina - No data retention law

Brazil - No data retention law

Bulgaria - Data retention law not applicable to VPN providers

Cyprus - Data retention law declared unconstitutional (?)

Czech Republic - No data retention law (declared unconstitutional)

Hong Kong - No data retention law (?)

Iceland - No data retention period specified (?); good privacy laws

Japan - No data retention law

Luxemburg - Data retention law not applicable to VPN providers

Netherlands - Data retention law not applicable to VPN providers

Panama - No data retention law

Romania - Data retention law declared unconstitutional

Serbia - Data retention law not applicable to VPN providers (?)

Sweden - Data retention law going into effect in May 2012, but (presumably) not applicable to VPNs


Taiwan - No data retention law (?) + seemingly good privacy laws
Ukraine - No data retention law

Well, I use NetworkManager-openvpn to manage my OpenVPN connections and it supports it.

I guess any decent client will do...

We use http://hidemyass.com/, but may switch to a different VPN soon. We are also looking for recommendations.

DONT USE HIDEMYASS

Read this: http://www.cbronline.com/news/security/second-lulzsec-hacker-faces-arrest-following-hidemyass-disclosure-report-270911

For ANY VPN provider or any Internet Security or Web Hosting avoid USA / CANADA / UK / AUSTRALIA / GERMANY / RUSSIA / CHINA

This was clear way before Snowden leak but now it is a fact.

Russia likes to play politics but spys on every one just like any one else dont be fooled.

I recommend using multiple vpn providers combined and would recommend the following:

BolehVPN

Mullvad

AirVPN   Now asks for picture and created a whole profile section with "Likes" "Friends" "Posts" their own internat social media wtf?

Ideally you want VPN provider to accept Bitcoin and not require email address. Sign up through TOR Browser (very hard to pin those logs to you later)
Use http://yourtempmail.com/  Temp Mail over TOR if you must provide an email


Also dont go for cheapest vpn with most features...
Govt Agencies setup and finance project like such to gather intel, so if it seem to good to be true it is.

Use TOR if you gonna do something sketchy and at very least boot in to Trails OS from USB

If you want a good one you have to pay for it.

PS: I ended up testing EarthVPN for 1 month after seeing a few irresistible deals on them (2.99 USD per month if I remember correctly), and am still pleased with the speeds here. I literally forget that I'm on a VPN.

Maybe when it expires I'll also try AirVPN (which a few guys recommended to me strongly) here.

Agreed - if they offer a free service you would be the product here...

Signing up through Tor isn't enough - you need to connect to the VPN via Tor as well.

One should never assume the VPN operators are honest, because despite their best intentions they can be coerced and also forbidden from telling your about it.

From a privacy perspective the reason to use a VPN is to use sites that block connections from known Tor exit nodes.

They accept bitcoin, fast and you can also use it for your smart phone.

Stay away from HideMyAss if you want privacy. They work with the gov. Private Internet Access seems to take anonymity more seriously.
