Poll of the Day > Should I sign-up for a VPN?

(+) Yeah! (+)

If I access the WorldWideWeb using a VPN, will that prevent my landlord from seeing the more dubious sites I access using his wireless network?

I must have these answers.

Doubt your landlord cares how much gilf porn you watch my dude

I worry that he will get in trouble if I download things that technically aren't mine to own.

Do you want all of your traffic collected via a man in the middle attack that you pay for?

You cant own peoples grandmas, he knows that.

Have you seen any indication that your landlord accesses the router to track sites?

Just because its pirate themed gilf porn with extensive use of peglegs doesnt mean anything.

No. But it is also true that the sites that I've been frequenting since I moved in last June are fairly tame.

What're your favorite categories, Eclair?

Busty Asian makes long-winded introduction scene?

I haven't regretted getting mine at all. Probably one of my best purchases ever.

I sent you a PM with some more information.

Sit in grannys lap and guess whats in your mouth videos?

Serious answer if I were in an apartment I would not connect to the internet without a vpn. And I'm not talking just for porn. Any hacker in the complex might try to get into your accounts or monitor your activity.

People are worried about porn but that's like the last thing an attacker would be interested in.

apartment

I'm actually renting a room in my landlord's house.

Question: Would my landlord get in trouble if I used a VPN to download files that aren't technically open-source?

No, and something not being open source doesn't mean you can't download it, that's not the right term.

If you're using a torrent my advice is don't unless you know what you're doing. You have to configure it to use a VPN.

A VPN will hide all downloads from a browser.

Yep, with a VPN the only thing your ISP will be able to see is the transfer load. They can probably guess what you're doing based on that, but they can't and won't come down on you for it. They won't bother your landlord because they won't have a case to go off of.

Depends what you want to use it for. Tor is free and more secure, but wouldn't be recommended for streaming/large downloads.

Tor sucks because you're banned from most websites. I wouldn't use it unless you're doing something illegal like buying drugs. Even then, you'll just get scammed/poisoned with filler, because no accountability.

Nordvpn is legit

Google Fi VPN is a joke. They literally just track you harder. Only good for bypassing streaming restrictions. At least until Google sets up a communication line with Comcast/some media troll's lawyers.
