coBras 0 Posted ... First post,. I've recommended AirVPN to a friend who then went and did research. When asked him why he not go with AirVPN he showed me something I found strange. A user on internet forum claims AirVPN was used to "trap him". Unfortunately last post is him confirming he got knock at the door and under investigation. Something about the post makes me think this is true. Nobody knows what he did to deserve however the claim did give concern about the security of this service and think this claim should be brought to the attention of AirVPN and customers, may not be aware of it. Screenshot attach. Quote Share this post Link to post

ɹoɹɹǝ 26 Posted ... Honestly, I don't think anything on HackForums is real. They use CloudFare and don't allow use of VPN's/proxy's to access their site... Something about a "hacker" forum not embracing privacy is shady... But HackForums is full of skids that embrace their friends products with "vouches" like "Rep! I have tested the product and it's the best I've seen." maybe not in those exact words but... you know what I mean 1 coBras reacted to this Quote Hide ɹoɹɹǝ's signature Hide all signatures "I don't see myself as a hero because what I'm doing is self-interested: I don't want to live in a world where there's no privacy and therefore no room for intellectual exploration and creativity." - Edward Snowden"The Internet is by the people, for the people." - Kim Dotcom Share this post Link to post

coBras 0 Posted ... Excellent response. I've been watching a lot of documentaries recently on current cyber security/mass surveillance and have taken some introductory courses on it as well. I'm usually always left thinking that everyone should be using a solid VPN these days. Thanks for clearing this up. Quote Share this post Link to post
Ricnvolved1956 51 Posted ... CoBras-- I mentioned this in a post in another thread, but there was a Dutch computer tech geek who was a guest a few years ago on The Keiser Report. According to this guy, if every private user would use a good VPN when getting online, it would be impossible for the NSA to try to break the encryption because of the expense involved. No, this is not an uncompensated endorsement of AirVPN, but it's okay with me if anyone wants to think so.
