HMA is the worse recommendation you could make. It is based in the US and will gladly provide LE with your surfing history. HMA also retains your records for 2 years! You would best served using Code: [Select]https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/how-it-works/ or number of other ones which are NOT based in the USA.You obviously don't know how it works at all. It's simply a program that once it verifies your password lets you have access to different routers from all over the world. Where did you get they keep your surfing history for 2 years? That's not right at all. It's an excellent service and it's not just a program for surfing it runs your entire internet through whichever router you choose out of 35,000+ different ones.Just because a company is based out of the US doesn't mean they keep your internet traffic, they aren't Google!Also I might add, when I connect to local routers I can watch YouTube perfectly fine while doing numerous other tasks so you don't notice it unless you use one at the North Pole or some shit.I appreciate that may be the company you use and were probably fooled by their sales pitch since HMA is probably No.1 in the world but they really do provide a superior product, coupled with program secure IP binding so they won't function without HMA running etc increases your security completely, and furthermore everything is encrypted using HMA. Personally I discovered it years ago and have never missed a subscription renewal because to me it's as important as any other security software.The program to use it is updated every month for security reasons just as TOR is, but it's TOR on meth, cocaine, MDMA and vodka mixed together and worth the $60!Happy New Year and trust me if you get it you will thank me ;)*Edit: Not everyone lives in the US either I might add and personally I have a place in Portugal where I reside most of the time when I'm not in Australia visiting family and friends, and an apartment in Brazil also (that I bought for the purpose of being able to explore Amazonian cultures and consuming ayahuasca), and if the US is so interested in my drug habits they are welcome to come and ask me about it at my place in Portugal and I will personally offer them some of my stash. It was my initial search of freedom to consume what I please that lead me to buy property overseas and coming home for the past few months it's been a constant reminder of why I hate living in oppressed countries like Australia and the US. Peace be with you and good luck if you are a citizen of the US, I hope they don't round you all up into FEMA Camps like Alex Jones thinks they will :)Hide My Ass (HMA) is based in the UK, and is most notorious for turning over two alleged LulzSec participants, who were unwise enough to mention in an IRC channel that they used HMA as their VPN provider. Within 24 hours, HMA served with legal paper demanding the identities of the two individuals involved. Both these individuals are now being prosecuted.
