I didn't even know hidemyass had VPN service. There is no need for VPN until your ISPs are going to start giving a crap.

It depends on giving a crap about what. For example on censoring websites, uploading, downloading, spying on your internet traffic. In most countries in the developed world, the first two are quite common. Downloading being illegal is increasingly becoming more common as ISPs and governments slowly crawl into bed with copyright facists, and spying by governments is also becoming increasingly populair. In any way, it can't hurt to subscribe to a VPN, just aslong it is a good one that really gives you privacy.

I would have ratted that guy out too, so not really a great example.
You'd be a fool to think that any commercial VPN is going to go out of their way to protect someone in cases like that.
Also... from that article, he may have been using their free Web proxy, rather than their VPN.

StrongVPN is what I use, works for me while I'm in Germany, it's a few dollars a month

**L1b3rta** · 04-16-12 at 09:03 AM

Yes Firmhand I will share my experience with you. I am using PureVPN for the last six months. I am pretty much satisfied with this provider. Servers in 14 different countries and provide PPTP, L2TP and SSTP protocol. You can freely access geo-restricted websites, perform online transactions, play games and much more with this provider. I am using Standard Plan of PureVPN that starts from $9.95/month only.
