Egypt may have just become the next China, or worse. If you follow the history of this ancient land, it may not come as a surprise to learn that free speech is not what the Egyptian government tolerates. Although the internet used to seem like a safe platform all over the world to share ideas freely without any consequences, nowadays it is the hottest field in certain countries. Egypt just upped their game with a new anti-cybercrime law. So now, there’s a risk that you may get sentenced to jail if you dare to access censored websites, for example, by using VPN software.

VPN Discussion / Free VPNs leaking your personal data
« on: September 03, 2018, 06:09:07 AM »
When it comes to VPN services, a single leak can expose your real IP address and other sensitive personal data, and jeopardize your anonymity. Therefore, if you are looking for a reliable and secure VPN, the single most vital information is whether it may leak personally identifiable data.

Your chosen VPN service can have all the most secure protocols and features, but, if it doesn’t have a kill switch and other leak protection, you could easily be in trouble.

Just to make it clear: A leak can cost you dearly depending on the sensitivity of your online activity. If you are a political activist, an ethical hacker, a geo-unblocker, a BitTorrent user, or anyone who simply doesn’t want to be tracked, monitored, and spied on, a leak can expose you to snoopers like your ISP, cybercriminals, and governments. As a consequence, you could be fined, prosecuted, or even jailed in the worst case scenario.

The following are the four aspects of leaks you can encounter in relation to VPN services:

VPN Discussion / Surfshark VPN

Hi. Wanted to talk about a new VPN called Surfshark VPN. Any of you guys heard of it or tried it? Website here: www.surfshark.com

I tried it and I'm pretty impressed. They only have extensions for now, but for everyday browsing, it is enough. Because it is quite the new VPN it is really fast, at least in my experience. They are based in the British Virgin Islands so outside the 14 eyes jurisdiction, also zero log policy. One of the coolest features is that it supports unlimited devices. It also supports Netflix which is really neat for someone outside the US or some other countries. Lastly, I heard that it bypasses the Great Firewall of China because it is quite unknown yet.

Anyway, if you want to try a new noobie-friendly VPN and you are fine with only browser extensions for now, I would recommend it.
