RazorliteX 0 Posted ... Hi all, quick question here - looking at using a VPN now that there will be some form of phantom "cease and desist/you're being naughty" communications being sent to suspected users of bit torrents/P2P file sharing in the UK. I was reviewing a thread on torrentfreak around the "anonymity" questions where it is claimed that AIRVPN absolutely does not perform any logging, however on the front page of sign up the site mentions some form of statistics reporting functionality. My question is - what type of logging is being achieved to support statistics; if there is no logging how is this possible? Any advice/guidance much appreciated! Quote Share this post Link to post
Staff 9943 Posted ... Hello! The stats showed on the status page are on RAM so they are not logged, they are lost as soon as the client disconnects. Anyway, they are not relevant for privacy and even less for the case you cite. On top of that, such stats are results of computations from VPN servers report to different servers contacted indirectly, so they are not kept in VPN servers RAM, but on the RAM of other backend servers which can't be contacted directly by clients or anybody else. Another kind of stats can be stored on file. They are optional: by default they are not active and can be activated by you in your control panel. In case of activation, anyway no IP address is recorded. Also, they can be deleted anytime by de-activating the option. They are meant as an additional commodity (to aid troubleshooting sometimes), not for privacy intrusion. Kind regards Quote Share this post Link to post

I have just changed my VPN provider because of information about my old provider and Air VPN information found on reddit.com About logs they say this about Air VPN: Quote Hide Conficker's signature Hide all signatures Do not argue with an idiot.
