I dont really like the way how they advertise their product. openvpn is great but the last time i checked the website it was a bit misleading. when you tried to download the openvpn software they quite persistently tried to sell you their product. which is also bad for every other vpn provider out there (that is using ovpn).
also not sure about using a vpn that is run by a us corporation. but thats your choice i guess.
which i endorse - cause the whole service is not built for the sole purpose of having a business but with the main focus on actual privacy for the customer.
i'd like to leave here the recommendation for a service where i know the owners: https://traceless.me (this is not a referal link ;))
thanks for the great write up.
in this usecase - surfing in starbucks - it doesn't really matter where the company is set, in my opinion.
I'll check out traceless!
true, except you are using nsavpn.com haha :) you never know who is running these services. and while the party may not right away steal your data they can still mess around with the content of your internet activity (depending on a variety of factors though)
while this is true, it's one company compared to x wifi threats. that's the point :) kinda like SSL
which basically means. you put everything into one hand rather than being exposed partially to multiple entities... :')
the free version is very limited, especially for mobile users... :(
why? i think you get 5GB of traffic and 3 or 4 different protocols to choose from and 2 different locations.
no custom app, that's a must.
why? you seem like a smart guy. setting it up with the android,ios and even winphone internals takes you about a minute. settings -> network/vpn -> choose the protocol of your choice, enter user pass, there you go.
