Pornhub Launches VPNhub, Its Own Virtual Private Network App (venturebeat.com)

Posted by msmash on from the new-offering dept.

"Adult entertainment" giant Pornhub is entering the busy virtual private network (VPN) space with the launch of its very own VPN service. From a report: Dubbed VPNhub, the new service is available for free via native apps on Android, iOS, MacOS, and Windows, though there is a premium subscription available that gets rid of the ads and promises faster speeds. In the U.S., this will cost between $12 and $14 per month, depending on the platform. VPNhub promises unlimited bandwidth, even on the free service, which is key given that Pornhub's core selling point is bandwidth-intensive video, while it offers around 1,000 servers across 15 countries. And it promises that it logs no user data.

      Just because you can get behind it doesn't mean you can use the back door.

      Unfortunately, they're either breaking the law or lying.

      The indicate they have a Canadian server location which means they're required to log your information for a minimum of 30 days.

    When you trust a porn site more to keep their word than all tech giants...

      Porn has been under tight scrutiny for a long time, so they're used to doing things by the book. The tech industry on the other hand has mostly had free reign for as long as it exists. Guess what that does to their morals.

      PornHub loses your data, you pick another porn site. Facebook does it, and are you really going to switch to Google Hangouts?

      I will face my porn. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the porn has gone there will be...oh, my god, have we been invaded by giant snails???

      I think it is about time to update the meaning of the word "promise" to better fit how it is currently used: Promise - A declaration or assurance that is given to an individual or group of individuals in order to sucker them into parting with money or something of monetary value. (for the purposes of this definition, votes are considered something of monetary value. Make sure you declare those "in-kind" contributions when running for public office)
