Actually I would not even trust a VPN. nothing is ever 100 percent safe, plus I listen to a security podcast that that talks about such things and we all agree that the government invented these forms of protection for the simple reason that they can snoop on us. I realize I'm sounding quite off my rocker but look it up with Steve Gipson. I guess it can be a good thing if you have oversensitive data but not all of us do, and most of us follow common sense, like don't log on to your bank at the star bucks, or what ever you have there.
Actually I might need to test this VPN as I'm going gout of the country and to a place where they block almost every website there is except for what they want you to see, so maybe in that case I canget around the block. I cannot be off line when I'm gone.
