Has anyone seen this news yet today?? Americans could be cut off from the internet over copyright claims A court ruled that ISPs can avoid liability by kicking customers off the internet. The ruling is being challenged. Correct me if i am wrong but IF AND WHEN an American uses a VPN to connect to another site, and they are connecting to a TUNNEL EXIT that is OUTSIDE of their home country, then their connection IS NOT, technically, "american", anymore, is it?

Hello Took the 3 day trial to see how AirVPN works and I love Eddie and its interface, I've been using it with Nettwork Lock on but I'm now really concerned and confused because although I had the VPN on, I've had an email warning me about copyright and what I've 'Apparently' shared listing the title, which is correct so I know its not spam. I'm wondering how this could have happened? I've also been using ipleak.net and have had no concerning results there, so I'm baffled.. Does Eddie disconnect if the computer goes into screen saver mode?.. what went wrong?

I have been using airvpn for over a year, infact i have two more years paid up till i have to renew. Since getting airvpn i have not had any trouble with copyright notices until today. I have airvpn set to network lock so nothing works unless its running. I got a notice for a tv show being downloaded with my correct ip! airvpn was running with network lock, all websites show the vpn address as mine. nothing is leaking out that i know of so, how is this possible??? Furthermore, how can i make sure it never happens again?

Hello, Do you think the passing of the TPP (trans Pacific Partnership) will mean either and end to VPNs or more scrutiny of them? The trade deal has universal laws on copyright infringement. Or like Netflix, if using a VPN you will be blocked? Thoughts, comments? Mr. V

I'm new to VPN, but I am tech savy~ish, and I am looking for an answer to torrenting from work. I'm currently using some other, inferior , VPN service, and the root of my question is: What do I need to ONLY avoid my bosses receiving copyright-downloading-warning emails. I don't care if the NSA is watching my browse the internet, I don't care is hackers are using my credit cards around the world, I don't care about being a ghost and phantoming around cyber-space. I only want to ensure that the next time I grab the latest Tame of Ghrones episode, I don't have to worry about the corperate internet service being disable on the account of mine downloading. My torrent client has a network select and ip binding, and it works correctly, so I knoe that if my VPN cuts out I won't have any leaks there is a TON of information on being a phantom in cyber-space, and how to keep the NSA out of your life; but very little information on foiling your ISP from knoeing what you are using the internet for. I mean, I can assume that just using a VPN I am masking what I am using the internet for; because over the last 3 days I have been testing out my new VPN by downloading a number of things that I thought my ISP would flag, including a couple of episode that I have previously been flag for. Nothing in the company email yet, concerning the downloading. I'm currently seeding these now, and I will do so for a couple more days (still in my 7 day trial with ivacy VPN) will update this post when I knoe that seeding is still safe. (Seeding is the REAL illegal part) TO SUM UP is the VPN all I need to foil my ISP. is it safe to use ONLY PPTP. do I NEED encryption? (128bit and 256bit options) I knoe it is based on your VPN provider, but I feel like there needs to be more info regarding what is needed to only foil your ISP, obviously if the NSA has trouble seeing your activity, your probably not going to have to worry about your ISP, but that takes head room, and with file sharing I want speed.
