&gt;&gt; Therein lies the problem. You can&#x27;t trust VPN providers.<p>Your link is borderline nonsense.<p>The only <i>real</i> evidence they give about not using VPN&#x27;s is when hidemyass proxy gave up some Anon&#x27;s in 2011. However, it very clearly states in the hidemyass TOS that their service is not to be used in illegal activity, which is exactly what the hackers who they gave up were doing. They only gave up the information after receiving a court order, even though they had seen the hackers in chats saying they used their service, at which point they did nothing until the government stepped in.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theregister.co.uk&#x2F;2011&#x2F;09&#x2F;26&#x2F;hidemyass_lulzsec_controversy&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theregister.co.uk&#x2F;2011&#x2F;09&#x2F;26&#x2F;hidemyass_lulzsec_co...</a>
