  1. You seriously trust Amazon more than a VPN service

  2. Torrenting, hiding shit from isps, getting around ip bans or region restrictions (though popular VPNs are often blocked anyway). Torrenting is probably the biggest reason. At least where I live isps are forced by law to store all logs for 2 years and report any suspicious activity immediately. A VPN in another country doesn’t have to follow those rules.

  3. You could use TOR, or just save your money and not bother with a VPN

  4. Use Linux, use TOR in a VM and never use or give any information that could be tracked or give even the slightest hint to who you are.

  5. A VPN encrypts your data and routes your traffic through their own VPN server. It then communicates to the internet as if you were that server. It masks your activity from your ISP, and hides your true IP from websites. Though all data you send can be seen by your VPN service. TOR is an open source software that encrypts your traffic 3 times and sends it through 3 seperate “nodes” that each partially decrypt the message. Each node only knows who’s infront and who’s behind in the chain. This improves anonymity and security on the service as you don’t trust any single server - but cones at quite the speed cost and some websites will not work or completely block connections from TOR nodes.

  6. It’s make it harder to access, and hide that unencrypted data from your ISP. It’s just a question of who you’d want storing your data, an ISP who is heavily regulated and surveyed by the government or a VPN who can store that information and may give that information up to the government but it’s much less likely.

  7. Probably not best to get your VPN off of 4chan
