Thanks for this.

Still trying to determine if it is best for me to get the vpn router that was mentioned in another thread or a vpn service.

 

[Database Error]

Who are they selling it to? I'll sell it my damn self.

Microsoft collects information straight off your computer that you have no choice, why not your ISP? They now have a pretext to spy and if caught can claim they were doing this.

There is nothing you can do in private online. It is becoming more authoritarian in the U.S. which is why I am leaving.

I'm surprised they have the time to follow the rest of us considering all of the time, money and resources they use to track you in making your life difficult.

You laugh, one day you will be on here complaining when they gear up for you.

But voting doesn't matter huh?

I wonder how many of those senators who voted in favour got a nice under the table payment from these ISPs.

I wonder what the going rate is for the pervert demographic?

Even though dude is out there, the information is still in your browser cache. You're still running javascript/flash/HTML5/local storage and are susceptible to super/ever-cookies. Even if you clear your browser history or delete the browser cache folder, it's still on the disk until the "deleted" information is zero'd out.

You're clever with this internet shit. Does a VPN really hide your Internet activities from your ISP? If not, what's the best way?

Having a router that can be config'd with a VPN is a good option.

Outside of using a text-only browser, there's really not much you can do. The client-side code can catch you if that's the intent. Beside, the ISPs aren't doing anything nefarious. They want to get in on the demographic data advertising game like Facebook/Amazon/Google, etc. I'm guilty of using the stuff myself for media buying, lead gen and re-targeting campaigns.

Enable your VPN and visit the following sites to see how much information that still gets through that your provider claims to block:

Any suggestions

Is this already law? Has it passed the house and has Trump signed it?

Most ISP are natural monopolies especially in rural areas versus Facebook or google which you have a ton of choices.

What is the max speed that VPN allows information through?

 

[Dannyblueyes]

The bright side of this stupid decision is that for every person being watched there has to be somebody watching. If you can't stop people from getting your data the next best thing to do is flood them with so much data that they can't sort through it all.

 

[Maxxam]

What is the max speed that VPN allows information through?

It depends on your bandwidth and what server you connect to. I use PIA and have a 120Mbps connection and when I connect to the closest server (San Jose) I still get about 80 down with 19ms ping. If I connect to London, I get about 40 with a ping of 150ms. Still fast enough to do things without issue. YMMV

And even that is useless.

I don't think VPN are the way to go, we need to create a more robust TOR. A sort of hybrid VPN TOR system. Where multiple VPN chain link each other in multiple countries.

Most websites are HTTPS anyways or will use video, not information they can glean.
