I am not aware of a single VPN Provider who has incorporated a new company in each country where the infrastructure is hosted and neither is it an advantage due to https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/29/us-court-microsoft-personal-data-emails-irish-server Then there are attacks against TOR, such as https://blog.torproject.org/blog/did-fbi-pay-university-attack-tor-users which is also funded by the US Government, how can they live with themselves :) On Fri, Dec 23, 2016 at 10:34 AM, Frank O'Connor <[email protected]> wrote: > The passphrase does not equate to the session keys, and the session keys > determine > what algorithm and variables will be applied when applying the socket’s > encryption. Once their passphrase is confirmed and associated time of when the VPN was used then regardless of their destination then either the: - Suspect will make the admission or; - The evidence will be accepted by the magistrate due to the balance of probabilities. The technical implementation is irrelevant when https://torrentfreak.com/vpn-anonymous-review-160220/ lists "VPN PROVIDERS WITH SOME LOGS (MAX 7 DAYS)" (their capitalisation not mine). -- Regards, Christian Heinrich http://cmlh.id.au/contact _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
