Very appealing
Your “Unpeeling the Onion Browser” article (LXF264, June issue) was an excellent chance find, having decided to select a Linux magazine from the bottom shelf at Sainsbury (other supermarkets are available - Ed) for a change from National Geographic - which is usually on the top shelf. In it you say: “How do you know your VPN isn’t run by some guy sitting in a basement somewhere, dressed in a dolphin onesie”?
Well I say… how do you know your VPN isn’t run by a group of people who also work for the Chinese government, NSA, GCHQ or the mob (take your pick) as their main job and VPN as a side-line for evening and weekends?
So, what about Nord VPN? I’m trying that for 30 days because when I tried BTWifi-with-FON from my mother’s house some weeks ago, I discovered that within 25 minutes there had been an attempt to access my Yahoo email account from an IP in India. When I called the BT fraud/security department, they couldn’t literally have cared less. So, we know from this that even the most well-known ISP in the UK is totally open to attack.
