Doesn't this just move trust from your ISP to whomever runs the VPN?
Doesn't this just move trust from your ISP to whomever runs the VPN?
None, unless you use a VPN with an endpoint you trust.
What should a VPN be for if not privacy?
Just make sure the billing info of the outgoing VPN can't be traced back to you if you want anonymity.
A VPN can negate that but now you're putting your trust in the VPN company's hand.
Won't everyone just use a VPN?
VPN will sell you out. (See PureVPN). Tor and I2P are important.
What about users who are using a VPN?
VPN is not really a solution because you have no reason to trust your VPN provider more than your ISP.
