No, I don't mind at all.
I have been using http://www.tigervpn.com
So far the service has been very reliable and fast (depending on the server you connect to.
I chose said provider because of it's privacy policy and where the company is registered.

Unplugging

I love the internet, and computer security, has always been a hobby of sorts, but everytime I really think about things, and read forums like this, or talk to people... or leave the house even, I realize that I would rather unplug forever and just live off what you can make yourself, self sustaining is a skill that most people never learn, it is an artform which I have begun to express and explore and my enjoyment of life can only ever be achieved from growing my own food, and maybe medicine

Stealing people's information is so easy. Even using simple tools such as a WiFi Pineapple...and it's not jist online, someone could scan your credit card while standing next to you in line at the coffee shop. It is easy, and scary.

One thing this thread doesn't mention...NEVER USE OPEN/FREE WIFI. Not at the airport or at a coffee shop.

Don't mention "Bomb", "Bong", "NORAD" or say "Hi" to your friend Jack (Hi-Jack) using a cellphone at the airport either.

You'll find out sooner than later. :laughing:

Get used to it or throw civilization away. If someone can make your screen blink on with a simple text, how much work do you think it takes to a activate the speaker.

The biggest threat to you is your phone. Location alone should freak us out.

We bought into it long ago.

while recreational grows are legal in some areas, producing hash oil is most definitely not, bragging about lab setups and such in a display of inflated ego is far from intelligent
