VPN For Kazaa Users Launched

Posted by simoniker on from the hiding-behind-screen dept.

prostoalex writes "AnonX allows Kazaa users to connect to its own VPN, effectively obfuscating their original IP address that certain association has been using to subpoena the file-sharers. The company is created by a Texas ISP employee, but is registered in Vanuatu, and already has 7,000 users paying $6 a month."

    Do you have ANY proof that those BS disclaimers are legally binding?

    What is good about MetroPipe is that they are NOT located in the USA. And they do not keep logs to even give to anyone that even asks.
    At least that's what they tell you. But what would stop such a company from logging all the sensitive information that get (and given that you'd use it for everything you don't want to know about, they would probably collect a lot of very interesting info) and later sell it to some spammers, for example, or simply start blackmailing you?

    The problem with all these privacy-enhancing proxies is that you have to trust some fishy offshore company first.
