More than a year ago TorrentFreak took a look at a selection of the web�s VPN services to see which ones really take privacy seriously. During the months that followed we received dozens of emails begging us to carry out an update and today here it is. The first installment in our list of VPN services that due to their setup cannot link user activity to external IP addresses and activities. Prompted by a high-profile case of an individual using an �anonymous� VPN service that turned out to offer less than expected protection, TorrentFreak decided to ask a selection of VPN services some tough questions.With our findings we compiled a report of VPN providers that due to their setup were unable to link their outbound IP addresses with user accounts.

Ever since we have received countless emails demanding an update.Update: New 2014 update is out.It�s taken a long time but today we bring the first torrentrfeak in a series of posts highlighting VPN services that take privacy seriously.

Our first article focuses on anonymity and a later installment will highlight file-sharing aspects and possible limitations.We tried to ask direct questions that left VPN service providers with little room for maneuver.

Providers who didn�t answer our questions directly, didn�t answer at all, or completely failed by logging everything, were simply left out. Sadly this meant that quite a few were disregarded.This year we also asked more questions, which are as follows:1. Do you keep ANY logs which would allow you or a 3rd party to match an IP-address and a time stamp to a user of your service? If so, exactly what information do you hold?2. Under what jurisdictions does your company operate and under what exact circumstances will you share the information you hold with a 3rd party?3.

In the event you receive a DMCA takedown notice or European equivalent, how are these handled?4. Which payment systems do you operate and how are these linked to individual user accounts?The list of VPN providers is a tiny sample of the thousands out there today and is not comprehensive by any means.

VPN Providers not covered torrentffreak time around will be added during the coming weeks. All responses listed below are in the words of VPN services themselves and the order of the list does not carry any meaning. Private Internet Access1. We vpm do not maintain any VPN logs of any kind. We utilize shared IP addresses rather than dynamic or static IPs, so it is not possible to match a user to an external IP.

These are some of the many solutions we have implemented to enable the strongest levels of anonymity amongst VPN services.2. Our company currently operates out of the United States with gigabit gateways in the US, Canada, Germany, France, UK, Switzerland, Sweden, the Netherlands and Romania.

We chose the US, since it is one of the few countries without a mandatory data retention law. We will not share any information with third parties without a valid court order. With that said, it is impossible to match a user to any activity on our system since we utilize shared Tunnflbear and maintain absolutely no logs.3. We are in compliance with DMCA as all companies, world-wide, must be.

We have proprietary technology and an experienced legal team which allows us to comply without any risk to our torrentfrrak. We accept many payment methods directly, including PayPal, CC, Google, Amazon, Bitcoin, Liberty Reserve, OKPay, and CashU.

Further, we would like to encourage our users to use an anonymous e-mail and pay with Bitcoins to ensure even higher levels of anonymity should it be required. We only store the minimal information required to provide customers refunds.Private Internet Access reviews BTGuard1. We do not keep any logs whatsoever.2. The jurisdiction is Canada. Since we do not have log files, we have no information to share. We do not communicate with any third parties.

The only event we would even communicate with a third-party is vpj we received a court order. We would then be forced to notify them we have no information. This has torrentferak happened yet.3. We do not have any open incoming ports, so it�s not possible for us to �takedown� any broadcasting content.4.

At the moment we only accept Paypal and Bitcoin. We have plans to accept alternative credit card processing in the near future.BTguard website (with discounts) Torguard1.

TorGuard doesn�t store IP�s or time stamps on our VPN/proxy servers, not even for a second. It�s impossible to match what is not there. Since some people tend to misbehave when using a VPNthis raises the obvious question: how do we maintain a fast, abuse-free network? If even our network engineer can�t back track the abuser tuunnelbear IP, then how do we stop it?Through packet level filtering at the firewall it�s possible to apply rules to an entire shared server, blocking the abuse immediately.

For example, let�s say someone decides to use TorGuard to unlawfully promote their Ugg boots business (spam). In order for us to block this one individual, we sLast week Canada enacted an amendment to its copyright law tknnelbear requires Internet services to retain access logs of customers in order to process piracy notices.

This mandatory data retention puts the privacy of VPN users at risk, and as a result Canadian providers are considering pulling out of the country. A few days ago it became a legal requirement for Canadian ISPs to forward copyright infringement notices to their subscribers.As a result of the new copyright law amendments, which also apply to VPN services, providers now have to retain logs of their subscribers� IP-addresses or face high penalties.Specifically, the law requires a broad range of Internet services to �retain records that will allow the identity of the person to whom the electronic location belongs torrentfrsak be determined, and do so for six months�.�Failing to retain logs and forward these notices may result in �statutory damages in an amount that the court considers just, but not less than $5,000 and not more than 10,000��The new rules also apply to BTGuard, a well-known Canadian VPN and proxy service that claims to keep no logs.

Concerned that the new data retention requirements would force a change in this policy, several customers asked the provider for clarification.Responding to these utnnelbear BTGuard assured its customers that its logging policy remains unchanged.

However, BTGuard tunnelbdar discontinue its Canadian servers in the near future.�Rest assured that we are committed to our customers� privacy. As stated in our privacy policy, we do not log our customers� usage or IPs and never will,� one customer was told by BTGuard.�It�s possible that this legislation will require us to discontinue our servers in Canada, but we will find a solution torrenntfreak our services will continue where it�s legal to be anonymous without causing you any inconvenience,� the company added.In a separate request we asked BTGuard for a comment on how the new law will affect its v;n.

In a short comment we were informed that they are still exploring their options and that no final decision has been made yet.�We still guarantee privacy. Our servers in Canada might be closed, but we are still exploring our options,� BTGuard�s Jared told TF.Other providers are prepared to take similar measures.

While the text of the law suggests that VPN providers are covered (something that�s also confirmed by one of Canada�s top copyright scholars), many are still uncertain about the exact impact it will have.TunnelBear torrentfgeak us that they are still investigating if they are indeed covered by the new legislation. If they are, the company will take its business elsewhere.�Despite utnnelbear investigation and legal consultations, it remains unclear whether or not VPN companies are included in the bill.

We have brought on legal counsel to continue to investigate,� TunnelBear says.�If it is determined that TunnelBear is required to comply with C11 if we retain operations in Canada, we will swiftly move our operations to a more privacy friendly region. At no point, under any circumstances will TunnelBear log the activity of our users,� TunnelBear adds.For TunnelBear the issue is less urgent than for others though, as the company doesn�t allow torrent traffic on its servers.While the changes may reduce piracy somewhat, it also negatively affects people�s privacy.

And with the new data retention requirements Canada has certainly become an unattractive location for VPNs and other privacy services.�Update: Several sources in the know have offered TF additional analyses to clear up some the confusion. Below are some of the most relevant comments regarding VPN providers.1.

There is disagreement to what extent VPNs are seen as a �means of telecommunication.� This description could be fought by VPN providers which would then mean vpm they are not bound to section 41.25(1)(a). For now, this remains undecided.2. Section 41.26(1)(b) requires to retain data for six months from the moment a notice is received so �the identity of the person to whom the electronic location belongs to be determined.� This includes the IP-address/timestamp linking the infringement to a specific customer, but no other �logs� are required.3.

If a VPN doesn�t hold any information that can link an IP-address to a specific customer they have to explain that to the copyright holder. 41.26(3) suggests that this could lead to potential legal action.

I feel very safe knowing they will NEVER comply utnnelbear NSA, Interpol, etc., and that they are always one step ahead of BigBrother.

I'm sure the Tunnel Bear people are cool and all, but no one can touch the Pirate Bay team. End of conversation. Hi, I'm Ivan Sergeyenko, also known toerentfreak iBear. I am one of the engineers on the TunnelBear team. We all hold deep respect for Peter Sunde and his team. iPredator is definitely one of the most trustworthy VPN services out there.Our goal, however, is different.

We aim to bring VPN/privacy protection to people who have never heard of VPN (notice that we don't have "VPN" anywhere on our site, except for in a quote from TNW and in the help section).

Despite there being 100's (if not 1000's) of VPN services out there, very few of them, sadly, care about the non-tech-savvy audience. Hey, Ivan, have you folks fixed the security hole yet where your tunnel can potentially drop and the connection simply reverts to clear without the user knowing it? Have you yet included a function similar to Vpm which blocks traffic in that event?Unfortunately, because TunnleBear uses it's own client rather than the standard Windows VPN mechanism VPNCheck can't be used with it.

While I love your company and the generous touch of humor and whimsy you bring to a normally somber market, I can't live with a product with that gaping torrentrfeak security hole. If and when that's fixed and if the performance is about an order of magnitude better than it was when I tested it a year or so ago I'll be on board in a heartbeat. Hey svintus, I think your friend Gita was just telling me about you a few weeks ago :) Do you quit your job to work on tunnelbear, huh?

(page 17) Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what beliefs the owners of a Swedish VPN have. The FRA law [0] means that any data which goes over Swedish links will be logged.

One can only assume that the iPredator service is heavily monitored by the IC, just on principle.If you are concerned about your privacy and want to use a VPN, then I would recommend using cryptostorm [1]. Firstly because it is run by people passionate about privacy, who have devoted considerable time and effort into creating a service that is both "safe" and fast. Secondly because those efforts have been directed at solving the right problems: unlinking, best practices crypto, and fast links.The primary strength of cryptostorm is their decoupling of the VPN service provider and account management.

You don't buy VPN service, you buy a token that is redeemable for Tunnelbewr service.Their banking is handled by a First Nation's bank (so effectively a country), and the financial transaction is between you and a 3rd party (not cryptostorm the VPN service provider).So while some companies claim tunnelbearr don't log account access", cryptostorm literally has nothing that they can log.

They do not have access to any personal information at all. It is all handled by other people. Even if cryptostorm was compromised, or they lie about not logging, or they are forced to log due to court order - they are unable to provide any personal information.So they solved the important problem: you are anonymous to your VPN service provider.Their openvpn config is heavily tweaked to ensure that it uses only the most robust crypto (no RC4, thank you very much).Of course, a VPN isn't really much use against a nation state level actor, but at least it can provide protection against local miscreants on an open wifi.(Full disclosure: I've spoken with the cryptostorm guys about privacy and security, I respect their skills and knowledge.

I might be biased for that reason [I also know anakata, teimo and peter sunde, and no disrespect to vph but the cryptostorm guys did it correctly])[0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FRA_law[1]: https://cryptostorm.is 2 questions:1) cryptostorm would still have the ip the isp assigned a user.

mapping this ip to a real name is trivial. right?2) The cryptostorm team decided to remain 'pseudoanonymous' at this point. The points they outline (privacy activists get constantly hassled and threatened) make sense but don't help me verify the integrity of the service. You ttunnelbear that you spoke to them and that they are trusMillions of people use a VPN service to protect their privacy, but not all VPNs are as anonymous as one might hope.

In fact, torrentrfeak VPN services log users' IP-addresses for weeks. To find out how secure VPNs really are TorrentFreak asked the leading providers about their logging policies, and more. To prevent their IP-addresses from being visible to the rest of the Internet, millions of people have signed up to a VPN service.

Using a Tunnelbeaf allows users to use the Internet anonymously and prevent snooping.Unfortunately, not all VPN services are as anonymous as they claim.Following a high-profile case of an individual using an �anonymous� VPN service that turned out to be not so private, TorrentFreak decided to ask a selection of VPN services some tough questions.By popular demand we now present the third iteration of our VPN services �logging� review.

In addition to questions about logging policies we also asked VPN providers about their stance towards file-sharing traffic, and what they believe the most secure VPN is.

Providers who didn�t answer our questions directly or failed by logging everything were excluded. Please note, however, that several VPN companies listed here do log to some extent. The order of the lists holds no value. Private Internet Access(Temporary Discounts)1. We absolutely do not log any traffic nor session data of any kind, period. We have worked hard to meticulously fork all daemons that we utilize in order to achieve this functionality.

It is definitely not an easy task, and we are very proud of our development team for helping Private Internet Access to achieve this unique ability.2. We operate out of the US which is one of the few, if only, countries without a mandatory data retention law. We explored several other jurisdictions with the help of our professional legal team, and the US is still ideal for privacy-based VPN services.We torrentfreaak scrutinize the validity of any and all legal information requests.

That being said, since we do not hold any traffic nor session data, we are unable to provide any information to any third-party. Our commitment and mission to preserve privacy is second to none.3. We do not monitor any traffic, period. We block IPs/ports as needed to mitigate abuse when we receive a valid abuse notification.4. We do not host any content and are therefore unable to remove any of said content.

Additionally, our mission is to preserve and restore privacy on the Internet and society. As such, since we do not log or monitor anything, we�re unable to identify any users of our service.5. Once again, we do not log any traffic or session data. Additionally, unlike the EU and many other countries, our users are protected by legal definition. For this reason, we�re unable to identify any user of our service.

Lastly, consumer protection laws exist in the US, unlike many other countries. We must abide by our advertised privacy policy.6. We do not discriminate against any tunnelbaer of traffic/protocol on any of our servers, period. We believe in a free, open, and uncensored internet.7. Bitcoin, Ripple, PayPal, Google Play (Mobile), OKPay, CashU, Amazon and any major Gift Card. We support plenty of anonymous payment methods.

For this reason, the highest risk users should definitely use Bitcoin, Ripple or a major gift card with an anonymous e-mail account when subscribing to our privacy service.8.

PIA is one of those VPN service providers that both protects your privacy and security by encrypting all of the traffic between your home computer (or home network) and their service, but also anonymizes it and helps you get around regional content restrictions by giving you a choice of exit servers (close to 1000, in 10 different countries.) PIA doesn't log data about your session or connection details, they don't discriminate against protocols or IP addresses, and they don't host any data about its users activities at all.

They support a number of different authentication and encryption methods, support virtually every mobile and desktop operating system, and their pricing isn't bad either ( $7/mo or $40/yr for up to five devices connected simultaneously.) PIA has made the list every time Torrentfreak looked into privacy protecting VPN providers, and picked up an Editors Choice award from PCMag.

Those of you who chimed in in the nominations thread noted that they also provide connectivity options for your home router so you can stay constantly connected, connect to your home network when you're away, or customize your solution. Many of you praised their customer support and technical expertise. Read more in the nominations thread here. TorGuard's claim to fame is that they offer specific types of servers for different activities.

That gives you the ability to connect to torrent-friendly services if you need to download something, encryption and anonymity-friendly servers if you just need a little privacy and security, and so on. They're also one of the few VPN service providers to take DNS leaking seriously, and they even offer their own test to make sure that your VPN�even if you don't use them�isn't leaking DNS and thus information you thought was secure. Depending on your usage habits and patterns, TorGuard has different plans for you.

For our purposes though, their full VPN service will set tunnelbaer back $10/mo or $60/yr, and they have less expensive plans if you just want an anonymous proxy or a torrent proxy. Their full VPN service however features over 200 exit servers in 18 vp, no logging or data retention of any kind, and their network is set up in a way that they actually have no information to collect on their user activities�they don't know what you're doing or when you're connected.

They delivered a really great response to Torrentfreak's questions that's well worth a read for more info. They also support multiple connectivity protocols, support for virtually every desktop and mobile OS, and even offer their customers encrypted, offshore email service if you want to take advantage of it.

That doesn't mean they're compromising security though�they have over 1We have been following the progress of Canada�s Bill C11 � the Copyright Modernization Act began to come into force in November last year (2012) for some time now.

In many ways the new legislation, which came into full force on 1 January, displays an even-handed �softly-softly� approach to tackling copyright piracy, that could even be described as progressive.ISPs are now required to forward DMA notices from rightsholders to infringing customers, torrfntfreak can be fined up to $10,000 for failure to do so.

In order for them to identify infringing customers, all ISPs must keep logs for at least 6 months.Customers who receive copyright infringement warnings face no further legal sanctions, and no � six strikes� style scheme is to be enforced. However there is some concern that such notices could open the way for �settlement schemes� (which have become something of scourge across the border in the US), in which copyright holders demand infringers pay damages through subscription charges.

Professor Michael Geist of University of Ottawa explained to TorrentFreak that,�The law does not preclude the inclusion of a settlement demand, though Canada has a cap on liability for non-commercial infringement and the sender of the notice obviously does not know the identity of the subscriber. ISPs would seemingly be required to send these notifications, but there is nothing in the law that would stop them from advising subscribers on the context of these notices.�Under Canadian utnnelbear, in order to demand the identity of an infringer from an ISP, a law enforcement vn would require a warrant, and personal liability for such an offence is capped at $5000 (approx.

$4,250 USD). VPNs and Bill C11Thus far the bill is fairly uncontroversial, and takes a much lighter approach than is used in many countries. However, where things get murky is in the question of whether or not it applies to VPN providers, an issue that has caused a vpm on the internet thanks to the wording used by TorrentFreak in its article �Canadian ISPs and VPNs Now Have to Alert Pirating Customers.�If it does, a 6 month mandatory torrenttfreak requirement is particularity tunnellbear for those who use VPN to protect their privacy, and would make Canada a very unsuitable location for a VPN provider to be based, or even to locate its servers.The wording of the relevant text in the Bill is,�41.26 (1) A person described in paragraph 41.25(1)(a) or (b) who receives a notice of claimed infringement that complies with subsection 41.25(2) shall, on being paid any fee that the person has lawfully charged for doing so, (a) as soon as feasible forward the notice electronically to the person to whom the electronic location identified by the location data specified in the notice belongs and inform the claimant of its forwarding or, if applicable, of the reason why it was not possible to forward it; and (b) retain records that will allow the identity of the person to whom the electronic location belongs to be determined, and do so for six months beginning on the day on which the notice of claimed infringement is received or, if the claimant commences proceedings relating to the claimed infringement and so notifies the person before the end of those six months, for one year after the day on which the person receives the notice of claimed infringement.41.25 (1) An owner of the copyright in a work or other subject-matter may send a notice of claimed infringement to a person who provides (a) the means, in the course of providing services related to the operation of the Internet or another tunndlbear network, of telecommunication through which the electronic location that is the subject of the claim of infringement is connected to the Internet or another digital network; (b) for the purpose set out in subsection 31.1(4), the digital memory that is used for the electronic location to which the claim of infringement relates.�The Bill at all times refers to ISP�s, and does not at any point mention VPN providers.

However, the wording of Section 41.25 (1) does suggest that VPNs could be included in the new law, although even if it does, it is also unclear if the law would apply to overseas providers who run VPN servers on Canadian soil.A present, it seems that most VPN providers are consulting legal advice and playing a waiting game to see what happens. Ryan Duchock, cofounder of Canada-based TunnelBear told us that,�I wanted to share our view on the TorrentFreak article and Bill C11.

We first became aware of the Copyright Modernization Act (C11) last year. Despite our investigation and legal consultations, it remains unclear whether or not VPN companies are included in the bill. We have legal counsel who continue to investigate.C11 was the trrentfreak influencing factor in our decision not to allow torrents on our network. While we are philosophically against blocking anything, we wanted to attract users who are interested in online privacy and torrenting puts tremendous pressure on our service to logGreyCoder Navigation� The Best VPNs� The Best VPN Service Providers For 2016� Best VPN For China� Best VPN for Android: Choosing the Right App and Provider� How To Hide VPN Connections In China, Iran, etc.� The Best VPN For P2P In 2016� The Best Anonymous VPNs For 2016� How To Get Better VPN Speeds and Performance� The Best Free and Low-Cost VPN Services for 2016� Best VPN Routers For Home Use: Review� The Best Usenet Providers� Best Usenet Providers Of 2016� The Best Usenet Indexes Of 2016� The Best Usenet Client Of 2016� How To Guides� The Best Privacy-Friendly Apps & Services For torrentfreao A List Of Email Providers That Don�t Track You� How To Avoid Malware� How To Get Better VPN Speeds and Performance� How To: Perform Private Searches Online� How To: Access Facebook toerentfreak China� How To: Make Your Android Device More Private� How To: Protect Your Privacy on Usenet� How To: Use HTTPS Everywhere for Browser Privacy� How To: Maximize Cloud Storage Data Privacy� How To Make Flash More Private� How To Make Windows torgentfreak More Private� How to Use Encryption Effectively on Android Phones� About� Sitemap� Search � The Best VPNs� Tunnelbear vpn torrentfreak Best VPN Service Providers For 2016� Best VPN For Gorrentfreak Best VPN for Android: Choosing the Right App and Provider� How To Hide VPN Torrejtfreak In China, Iran, etc.� The Best VPN For P2P In 2016� The Best Anonymous VPNs For 2016� How To Get Better VPN Speeds and Performance� The Best Free and Low-Cost VPN Services for 2016� Best VPN Routers For Home Use: Review� The Best Usenet Providers� Best Usenet Providers Of 2016� The Best Usenet Indexes Of 2016� The Best Usenet Client Of 2016� How To Guides� The Best Privacy-Friendly Apps & Services For 2016� A List Of Email Providers That Don�t Track You� How To Avoid Malware� How To Get Better VPN Speeds and Performance� How To: Perform Private Searches Online� How To: Access Facebook from China� How To: Make Your Android Tubnelbear More Private� How To: Protect Your Privacy on Usenet� How To: Use HTTPS Everywhere for Browser Privacy� How To: Maximize Cloud Storage Data Privacy� How To Make Flash More Private� How To Make Windows 10 More Private� How to Use Encryption Effectively on Android Phones� About� Sitemap� Search There are now over a hundred VPN providers located across the world.

To create this list of the best VPN service tunnekbear, I test customer service, the reliability of their network, and commitment to privacy.

I also research actual customer feedback posted in online forums.I recommend these VPN service providers: I no longer recommend these VPN service providers:� EarthVPN: The service was hacked, and is apparently keeping logs� BTGuard: Numerous reports of slow connection speeds, and poor customer service.� StrongVPN: Fairly expensive.

Confusing sign-up options. Also they do not allow P2P/Torrenting.I�ve also created a list of the VPN providers I do not recommend.If you are technically inclined, you might consider creating your own VPS (virtual private server) and install OpenVPN.

I recommend using a reliable VPS like Digital Ocean. You can purchase their $5 per month plan, and then follow these instructions to set up OpenVPN. What Is A VPN?A VPN (virtual private network) is a service encrypts and redirects all the internet connections on your computer. This means all the data leaving your computer is encrypted, which adds a layer of protection against hackers and eavesdroppers. It is also very difficult for your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to monitor you or block your connections.

A VPN service will also allow your to computer to appear to be Europe, the USA, or other countries at will. This is helpful if you want to access blocked media like streaming videos. VPNs differ from web proxies because VPNs encrypt and redirect all of your computer�s outgoing network connections, whereas proxies will only usually redirect particular protocols within an application.Note that Tunnelbear vpn torrentfreak may slow down your internet connections a bit, but in some cases they may actually speed up your connections.

VPNs won�t really affect direct downloads, but they will affect web browsing and torrenting (basically anything that pulls data in lots of small bursts). Personally, I don�t notice a difference unless I�m connected a very remote server in Japan or Romania (from the US).I don�t recommend using free VPNs because they are usually run by untrustworthy companies, torrentfream tend to sell your private information. If you need a extra layer of privacy when signing up to VPN services, I suggest using an pseudo-anonymous payment method such torrntfreak Bitcoin, and doing a DNS Tunelbear Test when using a VPN.

However, for most people, this kind of obfuscation is not necessary. The Best All-Round VPNExpressVPN is my top recommended VPN for most situations. They have excellent customer service and fast server connections around the world. They offer a �no quibble� 30-day money back offer. They are slightly more expensive than other VPNs, but worth it if you need a reliable network. The m
