Can they really keep your own internet service provider from tracking your internet use? I didn't think that was possible since you went through their servers? Have things changed recently?

Your actual traffic runs through the VPN using their IP addresses. All the ISP can see is the encrypted data traveling to a server. The websites that you visit see the IP address that your VPN runs on.

Best VPN services purge their logs so there is no way to back trace it to your original address. Private Internet Access is a reasonable VPN to check out.

I believe PIA doesn't even log so nothing to purge.

Well if you use torrents to pirate stuff you have to have one or your ISP will go bonkers on you.

Everytime you use a VPN, your ISP kills a kitten.

It really just depends what you are doing.....most of the time you don't need one and it will slow down your internet speed.

AND if your doing anything that the authorities may want to see, they can get it so why slow yourself down?

And don't believe that BS they throw their logs away. I did a restore contract for a major VPN after a ransomware attack from their off site backups and logs.

The #1 reason I know that people use them is to hide what they're doing from an ISP these days if they pirate games/music/movies etc because if you don't you'll get emails threatening to cancel your service.
