U.S. Based VPN Tries to Get Me to Promote Their Service
October 7th, 2016As I’ve told you guys on here forever, all a VPN does is shift your Internet activity from one place to another. Instead of the logs being held by X, they’re held by Y. It’s not magic. You’re not anonymous online.
Since I can’t know what any VPN service is doing on the backend, I’ll never promote any VPN service. It’s that simple.
This was my concluding email to the persistent affiliate sales guy.
Hi Chuck,
There’s no way for me or my readers to know what you’re doing on the backend with the logs. The fact that the users’ IPs are hidden means nothing.
Even if there was a way to know that you weren’t handing everything over to ______ (fill in the blank), you’re a U.S. company and anyone who relies on a U.S. company for VPN services hasn’t been paying attention.
Anyway, there isn’t a chance in hell that I’d promote your, or any other, VPN service. haha. No way. I wish I had a dollar for each of these offers I’ve turned down, though.
I host my website on an old Pentium III in my own home. I delete the “Access” logs every day. My ISP has never complained to me and it has been 15 years.
Calm
