    Anyone using a VPN

    Why You Should Be Using a VPN (and How to Choose One)

    If your interested you can read the rest of the article and it explains it quite well. If your not using one you should consider it.

    Ive been using one, mine is from is from NordVPN.com
    It costs 96.00 for 2 yrs, if you pay via paypal you get a discount and its 78.00

    You may know what a VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is; you probably don’t use one. You really should be using a VPN, and even if you don’t think so now, at some point in the future you may consider it as important as your internet connection.
    When we took at look at your five favorite VPN service providers, we noticed a few things. First, being the “best” is big business for VPN providers, and they’ll fight dirty to be one of them. Second, there are so many VPN providers that it’s difficult to choose a really good one. VPNs are not all created equally, and in this post, we’re going to look at what a VPN is, why you want one, and how to pick the best one for you. Let’s get started.

    Whether you purchase it or not if its a VPN its the same thing.
    Some internet security programs have vpn built in with your subscription.

    I paid for the one I have for a specific purpose, I have one in my internet security program. The one I bought is paired with something else I do with another device.

    You deal with a public company. I don't. It's a private deal. End story

    #1 - We established Yes, I do have a VPN, so that basically answers your question.

    #2 - However, I added that I did not get my VPN from a commercial service. If you trace my I.P,#, it goes back to a hub in Milwaukee....no matter where I am in the US. The trace does not indicate I use a VPN service which is exactly what I want.
