Oh give it a rest with the "military grade" rubbish!!! Put your friend, the real IT person on and we will talk to him. You don't seem to know much.

At 5:33 if there is no logging of connections, how does the service know if you use 5 or more devices at the same time? They do log the details and the App also needs to be examined to see what information it is collecting and who it is going to. If it is downloaded from GooglePlaystore it has a UUID embedded like everything else so they can track people. Mullvad is one VPN I would use, but they are not being entirely honest. All data in and out of servers in the UK is logged and recorded, to comply with UK Laws. Your data is not secure as we have seen with other VPNs. I definitely would not use Proton as you will find it is the next encrochat in a few years.

If it was info they were after, they would go to the host companies, not to the VPN HQ. It is easier to get a warrant for hosting companies. They were after a customer list to link with certain data to prove it was a particular user. GCHQ monitors everything in the UK and hacks everything. You can be certain your data is flowing through their systems right now. VPNs do not stop people being identified, they can still be caught a number of ways. Even on Tor. A classic was those vile people trading pics and videos on forums, they were caught very easily. They opened files when they were connected to the Internet, the files were altered so they fetched extra codecs or caused other programs to ask for updates etc. This action sent a unique serial number and IP to a remote server with the IP number of the user. Other ways included false updates or forums asking you to download an update or allow a permission. GCHQ used a lot of ways when they were working with NSA to find and close sites and users down. It is easier now, so VPNs and Tor do not protect people in any way. Think of it as going to a restaurant by car, then going by bus one night. They would still see you there, just not know how you got there. The same with paying by card, they still see you pay, but not what with.

That does not always help, it depends on who does the audit. One or two VPNs had audits and were not answering the questions asked, more like the ones they wanted to be asked so a different answer was given. This deflected away from the real issues they had. They ALL log data in order to control connections and limits, also billing. If they don't, the hosting companies are forced to do traffic inspection and logging for law enforcement. In the UK all VPN data is collected and stored if it goes through any equipment inside the UK.

In the UK most VPNs are nothing more than a proxy server in a datacenter. They ALL have to hand over information and are all forced by Law to log everything too. If your traffic goes through ANY equipment in the UK you are in trouble. PIA had to remove physical UK servers a few years ago and operate the UK side of things from Amsterdam. This still meant all traffic through UK equipment was logged and stored, but servers were not as easy to get hold of.

@TheChaoticWolf Why should they be fine? There are SO many experts that have no clue how things work. people just add random generalised comments and hope no one will question why they have put something. RAM discs on servers can still be running malware and doing things to traffic, especially if they are in a datacenter. How do you think police compromise servers? One VPN that was compromised and using servers run from a police station in the UK was using RAM...for about a year. Users had no idea it had been taken over until it shut down a few months ago.

How do you know the VPN will not compile a profile of your data and sell it all? Most of them do this and customers have no idea. They think a VPN adds security and anonymity when it doesn't, you can't even trust Tor to give anonymity. They had to re-brand and replace the word anonymity with privacy after it was evident that it had been compromised with backdoors and tracing via traffic staining going back to 2014.

It is on most VPNs, they ALL log your connection and device ID in order to control the connection to the service and billing. So they know which phones and PCs are associated with your account and the IP numbers used by your account. How do people think they control the "5 connections" business. That might only be stored for a short time, but it is enough to link someone to a crime if they were so minded. Most equipment is rented in datacenters, so the VPN company has no real control over the law enforcement in that country. In the UK the VPN companies have no way of stopping the host inspecting and storing all VPN data, and it will not be encrypted when they do that. It's a big word game, companies are good at telling you what you want to hear to get a sale. Like those awful affiliate channels. One was advertising WeVPN to get commission, they never paid him as it was probably a front for law enforcement. The company shut down a few months ago, once the experiment was over! A 2 year funded experiment to collect all the data and see what people were up to. What you will find soon is that the next Encrochat scandal will be a VPN company being compromised and a lot of people in a panic.

You are completely stupid if you use Nord or one of the other 124 companies owned by just 5 main operators. ALL of them are inspecting your data and manipulating, then selling it on to others. Nord is banned from PayPal because of all the complaints it had, they want your credit card to compile a verified profile as they have your real details. handy for law enforcement too when put together with the logs of the data that are kept. If you think you are not having anything logged, you need to wake up. Try cancelling Nord, you will not be able to easily. Your service will probably go down after the 30day money back guarantee too, that is what cause the PayPal ban. Why would you lower your security by allowing data to be given to a company operating where no data protection applies and no consumer law applies? Why would you pay to lower your privacy? Your data is more secure with your ISP than most VPNs. People are stupid when they are asked why they need a VPN, they give daft answers they heard on TV or saw in a video that is from someone paid 40% commission to get them onboard. 90% if users DO NOT need a VPN, they serve absolutely no purpose and give no protection.

@RebrandSoon0000 You can buy a pre-paid debit card in most countries, just go to a shop and add cash to it.
