>The Trust Problem with VPNs With National Data Privacy Day approaching, I've been thinking about a fundamental contradiction in VPN privacy: every VPN asks you to trust them. But trust is antithetical to privacy. If you have to trust someone not to observe you, you don't have privacy—you have their promise. Here's a thought experiment: You've used a VPN for years because they promised not to keep logs. But how would you know if they were telling the truth?

It knows everything. I never believed the "no log policy". VPNs are just a way out for ISPs to say "hey, they used a vpn to download all that awesome copyrighted porn and cracked video games! We had no idea! We can't see any of that traffic". Which is also horseshit because they can.
