Thanks all. I feel like WiTopia is the best fit based on my criteria and budget. The ability to switch Gateways on-the-fly and the number/locations of the Gateways is ideal for my intended use. http://www.witopia.net/index.php/support/faq/#doyouissueus On Sat, Jan 1, 2011 at 11:52 AM, Dan King <xxsegfaultxx () gmail com> wrote:
Completely agree with you carlos. Vps systems can be snooped on without your knowledge from the host. Id feel more comportable with a box at a physical location that I control running a tor proxy.

They are still going to have physical access of the system and the "man" could come knocking with a court order asking them to turn it over. Unless you do something out of the US, your system is ALWAYS going to be at the mercy of the "man" getting a court order and accessing your info. I have toyed with the idea of creating a hosted system that logs to /dev/null and doesn't keep a single piece of information about who logged into the system from where, when. cloudsigma.com are a pretty good "out of the us" cloud/VPS provider, you might try one of their cheaper tiers and setup your own. If you might be engaging in activities that could get you in trouble, i would not trust a system built by anyone than yourself so you can be sure what it's logging, or not logging, and who has access.

Then all traffic over the VPN could be then anonymized. I have no experience with any commercial VPN solutions that claim tomaskyour traffic. I'd be a little suspicious of that honestly.

SSH tunneling provides point-to-point encryption, as does an IPSec VPN e.g. FreeS/WAN. There are anonymiser services that offerwebproxies but don't encrypt your traffic. Your goals affect the choice of solution best for you. Jim On 30 December 2010 14:41, xgermx <xgermx () gmail com> wrote:Can anyone give a recommendations for a private VPN service? My goal is to remain anonymous online whilst not sacrificingbandwidth.Something like IPREDator, possibly.https://www.ipredator.se/?lang=enGoogle searches for this have proved futile as most results are spam/seedy companies.
