Hello all,

I'm looking for a VPN provider to encrypt my communications. My main
objective is to get secure communications while being able to search on the
web, read and create content and, most of all, can get my IM/IRC traffic
secure.

Any suggestions?

I've seen some providers - like HideMyAss, SwissVPN, etc - and i'm looking
for the best security with the lower price :)
Does it have to be a VPN (IPSec or L2TP)? VPN providers have shown a
penchant for selling out their customers to law enforcement and other
authorities despite their claims.

TOR is a good alternative, but does not operate as low in the stack.
TOR offer confidentiality and does a better job at anonymity.

Additionally, the EFF's Https Everywhere will help you with HTTP
(https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere).
