VPN

Nord are one that log your traffic though right?

No, where on Earth did you get that idea from?

sounds a pretty short life. Average age is 80 something...

You’d need to take that up with the sales platform and Tiger, however it appears they may have parted ways. The same happened with Pure. When buying any service the context of lifetime is something you need to read and not make assumptions about unfortunately.

What's wrong with PIA? I'm.with them and it's fantastic. They don't log unless I'm wrong?

Presumably you haven’t read post #4? It’s now owned by a company with links to malware slinging and the CTO is the former owner of MtGox who ‘lost’ 6500 ish bitcoins and then tried to hide it. He has convictions for manipulating electronic data to hide his stupidity and it’s established fact he used customers money for his own personal purchases. Not really the person you want anywhere near a company that you absolutely have to place your trust in.

Figured I'd update this.

I decided I didn't have any need for a VPN following contacting my ISP(Zen Internet) and enquiring what data they log for a customer's connection:

Reply:

"We don't log internet browsing history but your web browser should. Regarding your connection we do log the connection usage.

The Usage information we detail within our customer portal is for all data that is Downloaded and Uploaded through your Internet connection. We do not specify any specific data such as Video Streaming, Online Gaming or perhaps even Online shopping. As we do not log specific Internet usage as this would be against privacy law."

Perhaps go and read up on the Investigatory Powers Bill aka Snoopers Charter, it's been law since 2016.

As far as I can tell from that internet usage is only tracked and logged for the Investigatory Powers Bill if the ISP is specifically instructed to do so per connection for investigation purposes?

Does seem to be conflicting info on IPB whether it's blanket logging or targeted.

Let me put this in simple terms, I have attended a 'voluntary' interview under caution where my internet history (along with financials and medical history) prior to the alleged offence and after it were referenced without the need for a court order. Feel free to think data isn't logged and a completely unrelated accusation isn't all the invitation required for the police to go on a data fishing expedition, but that isn't my personal experience, or the experience of others I personally know. I had nothing to hide, but it highlighted why unless you would shout happily whatever you do online from the nearest rooftop, you should probably be using a VPN too.

I've always been more of the view it's more likely to be logged than it isnt, especially the way our government is going in the UK.

Can you share any more details of what happened to you, entirely understand if you can't though.
