What You Should Know Before You Buy VPN Services.

  • Something to keep in Mind, VPNs don't provide Security.  They're just a glorified proxy.
  • VPN's can protect your traffic on Public Wi-Fi, which Wi-Fi can be inherently dangerous to use.
  • These applications may allow you to safely browse online without being tracked
  • These applications allow you to change your IP address.
  • You can use a VPN on the Internet with your favorite platforms and services.
  • VPN's work best in point to point applications, like on company computer tied to a company server.

If you live in the United States, you should really think about the VPN provider that you are planning to use as all VPN providers are not the same.

Why we say this?

Some VPN providers are not necessarily as trustworthy as they claim to be.  Some of these VPN Companies outside the United States operate on their countries terms.  Some of the countries may be socialist or even communist.

You need to be concerned about a potential security compromise when choosing a VPN companies because these companies are under the jurisdiction of the nations that they are doing business in and that could jeopardize your information and security.  Another issue is that some of these countries could legally subpoena the VPN companies for their traffic history.

Another issue, some of these companies operate on their own terms, which they could have bias toward a U.S. business, the United States, political parties, or even our own president.  These companies could also have bias toward other country businesses we do business with and/or towards our allies.

Its important to have a trustworthy VPN provider that works hard to do their jobs to protect you, your information and doesn't push their political opinions, agenda, or their standards on you unknowingly.  Its important that the companies don't work with other companies or search engines like Google in order to censor information about companies, government, politicians, other anything else that they don't like.

Why we say this?

VPN companies do have influence over other companies that are listed in search engines and can sometimes purposely censor or negativity influence your decision over what sites you will visit and see.  We have provided some examples for you to see, in what we ran into when using a so-called leader in VPN industry.  We were not impressed to say the least and could see the potential danger of some of these VPN providers.

Remember that VPN providers specifically seeks out those who are looking for privacy.  So, we all need to think about this, if you were a hacker, wouldn't you want to find those people with interesting traffic who are trying to seek privacy?  Its more likely that a VPN provider could be malicious, a honeypot, or even government entity that is spying on you or a business.

You also need to remember that when using a VPN, your traffic is only encrypted to the VPN provider and back.  After your traffic leaves the VPN provider its no longer encrypted, so you need to be aware this.  Another thing to remember, your VPN provider can see and mess with all your traffic.

So, when should you use a VPN?

On public Wi-Fi networks or when you know that an ISP is using MITM (man-in-the-middle), or when you are trying to circumvent non-government-sanctioned adversaries.  Other than this, VPN's are almost worthless.

What do we recommend?

Use Wireguard or using SSL/TLS and HTTPS for your centralized services or end to end encryption for social or P2P applications.

Who is Nord VPN®?

As of 2024, Nord VPN® is a Lithuanian VPN service that is owned and operated NordVPN S.A..  It is part of Nord Security.  The company was established in 2012 by childhood friends Tomas Okman and Eimantas Sabaliauskas.

Their applications are used on Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, Android TV, and tvOS operating systems.

Nord VPN® advertises that their country of jurisdiction is Panama, because Panama doesn't have mandatory data retention laws and censorship laws like Russia.

We experienced a serious security issue with this provider and we also found others on the internet who experienced similar issues too, but in our peer review of this provider, we basing our opinion on what we personal found.  We paid for a three year contract with NordVPN, when we contacted the VPN provider about the problem, they blew us off by repeatedly asking what the issue was after we detailed the information in a ticket what had happened and we also sent photographs of the issue.  We even asked for our money back and we got the blow off again.
