The most irritating thing is Australian Govt. wants sensitive information of internet users. Being an internet user, why i should give my data to companies and agencies?

VPN is the only way to fight off this government-imposed threat and protect your online privacy for good as explained here https://www.purevpn.com/blog/why-data-retention-in-australia-is-worse-and-how-vpn-can-protect-you/

sadly we can expect hundreds of ransomware attacks in the future too!

I dont know the reason why most of the BIZ spend too much on DDoS protection? Why wouldn't they start using anti-DDoS VPN which hides your real IP from the attackers and filters the incoming traffic to your connection through its anti-DDoS mitigation servers. You just need to search "PureVPN ddos protection" & check the first result on Google.

I'm concerned that you seem to ignore the very possibility that the BBC work in reverse from their list of unlicensed properties towards ISP/IP and then search logs for evidence... The problem is much much more tractable that way and hence judicious use of a VPN is an absolute must rather than just a good idea. P.S, i am using purevpn & i am quite happy with their service because it has a no log policy mentioned in their official website.

The IPBill was already passed by the House of Commons by a clear majority in June of this year. The MPs voted overwhelmingly in its favor, with final result being 444 to 69.

Pro-privacy groups and advocates have campaigned against the legislation since then, dubbing it Snooper's Charter 2.0 in reference to the original attempt to pass the law that was thwarted by the Conservative government's former coalition partners, the Liberal Democrats.

The only way Brits can save themselves from mass-surveillance is to change their IP addresses to another location. Since the internet companies can only track you via your IP addresses, once you change them, you'll appear anonymous not only to the ISPs but to the whole world.

Brits can easily change their IP addresses to another location and appear anonymous by subscribing to any premium VPN like PureVPN, exoress, air etc. By using VPN, users can connect to its range of servers from around the world and browse the internet anonymously.

PIA have done a great job but if we talk about the vpn service then purevpn at its best.

I registered twice. On the First time registration i didnt get any activation email.... I think its a bug!
