Last week, an excellent article Ars Technica discussed the international regulatory policy VPN.
suggestion that the VPN industry needs to be regulated because people can use the service for illegal behavior is off-base. Even a spoon can be used a murder weapon, but that does not mean that we must regulate spoons. A legitimately operated VPN service is no different from an ISP. We know who our customers are, and we have the session information that allows us to link an IP address from which the illegal activity was held back to a customer. A Golden Frog we do not keep these session logs for a period of 30 days, and we say very clearly in our Privacy Policy. Although we keep the session data, we do not inspect or save your traffic, have backdoors into our VPN encryption or use third parties to perform our service.
There are many misunderstandings about the world of virtual private networks, and specifically in the VPN services sector. Here at Golden Frog VyprVPN we work - one of the most respected VPN services worldwide. VyprVPN We run because we believe in privacy, security and a free and open Internet. We believe that a journalist should be able use a VPN to encrypt its connection flight Wi-Fi to prevent an attacker against spying on him, and for secure Internet systems in flight that are designed to be most precarious that typical Wi-Fi. We believe that a person on the internet has the right to access the content they have purchased legally, even if their Internet Service Provider (ISP) interfere by blocking, throttling or poor network management to enable congestion the highly demanded services. We believe that people in countries that impose censorship should have access to the same Internet as anyone.
VPN services are not, and should not be considered as anonymisation services. Even suppliers that embrace anonymity lie to themselves and their customer base, as a VPN does not make you anonymous. The depths that some VPN services go to bed in this regard even goes to their name - the so-called VPN service provider "HideMyAss" had a very public outing last few years shows that VPN services are not actually anonymous. Instead of requesting anonymity, it is more accurate to say VPN greatly increase your privacy and security in a world increasingly precarious.
The call to regulate the VPN industry is out of the base by a long shot. Fear, uncertainty and doubt are again used to fuel the panic on "encryption" taking the Internet black. Golden Frog is not in the business so that customers can engage in criminal behavior and get away with it; We are in business to provide people with privacy, security and access to a free and open Internet. Our encryption keeps the service you use to connect to the Internet (ISPs, Wi-Fi, etc.) secure, and prevents others on the same network (this shady guy in the back of the plane, for example) against eavesdropping on your traffic for personal gain, private or public. Much like Apple is fighting to ensure that their customers have the security of wicked hacking their phones, we try to help our customers to keep the bad guys to invade their lives. VPN regulate the industry would do absolutely nothing to prevent illegal activities to hide behind encryption, but he would do anything to put the citizens law-abiding to a greater risk of attack.
