Question #5033

web surfing encryption services not private
Date: Nov 21, 2008 From: Alexi
Location: Philadelphia, PA Age: 40
Question: As J. Luna has repeatedly stressed, that web surfing privacy vpn/encryption services are not actually private, I can attest to that.

When connected to a vpn, I am recently noticing that numerous governmental agencies are trying to connect to the software I am using - they can't based on how I have things set up (as far as I can tell) - but it goes to fully confirm what J. Luna's been saying.

I feel more comfortable with the service because it's about protection from neighbors for me, not hiding my surfing results, but I feel very uneasy in general about this and I'm moving very soon anyway so I will only be online off-site then. What's super freaky about this is that I recently started corresponding with someone I met online and perhaps that's why the suddenness of this - it started almost exactly at that time.

J. Luna, should I not care about this happening and just continue as usual or does this warrant switching to another vpn service, not communicating with people I don't know well, and only surfing off-site? I don't want to overreact based upon the principle of it alone. But I'm annoyed by this.

Answer: I will leave it to other readers to comment on your question about "to switch or not to switch." However, do keep in mind that the person you met online might be part of a sting operation. Proceed with caution.
