Short answer: no. It's easy to map out your connection to the VPN with traffic coming from the VPN. Even if the VPN providers were honest and had privacy policies, you'd still be open to traffic-correlation and analysis. It's not a big deal for someone in <Country> looking to play <Video Game> or bypass a YouTube block. But journalists and other people who need actual privacy shouldn't rely on a VPN to protect them. ~Griffin -- "Cypherpunks write code not flame wars." --Jurre van Bergen #Foucault / PGP: 0xAE792C97 / OTR: sa...@jabber.ccc.de My posts, while frequently amusing, are not representative of the thoughts of my employer. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsusbscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
