That's you out of the game then.

Golden Frog logs a minimal amount of data in order to run the best possible service for our customers. For example, minimal logging enables us to:

• Improve speed and performance by allowing us to optimize network connections
• Improve reliability by identifying and fixing low-level service issues to prevent outages
• Troubleshoot specific customer issues, including speed, connection and application issues
• Protect against abuse from spammers, port scanners, DDOS, etc, so we can terminate customers who are abusing other customers.

We get that the logging vs. no logging issue is a passionate one for many people. We have decided that increased performance, reliability and ability to prevent abuse are worth the very minimal logging that we do.

Golden Frog logs the following information and only retains it for 30 days:

• Customer's source IP address (generally the IP address assigned by the customer's ISP)
• VyprVPN IP address used by the users
• Connection start and stop time
• Total number of bytes used

That means we do NOT log:

• The content of your communications
• The websites that you visit
• The services that you use
• Your physical location
• Any other personal information

In our view, the purpose of a VPN is to greatly increase privacy and security but does not deliver anonymity. Anonymity is a false promise. This is the point of our [I am Anonymous When I use a VPN – 7 Myths Debunked]( ) article, A VPN does not make you anonymous and we try to be transparent about that.

That's a great question. VyprVPN allows you to connect and disconnect your VPN connection with one click. Our apps for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS all simplify the process of setting up and managing your VPN connection. If you have any issues we also offer 24x7x365 support via email and live chat.

Piggy backing so more people see this. I was about to get in on this until I scrolled through the comments and found this.

Hello,

VyprVPN is compatible with Chromebooks. Setup instructions can be found here:

On a side note, you may find this recent article from PC Mag about keeping your Chromebook safe to be of interest. It has additional background info about using a VPN with a Chromebook.

,2817,2462660,

We’re impressed that you have taken steps to give yourself a more secure and private online experience.

When it comes to TOR vs. a VPN, there are several Web resources that compare the two, so we won’t go into great detail. But, in general, a VPN is a simple, fast and “lightweight” way to encrypt your Internet connection on various network types like Wi-Fi hotspots, cellular networks and private wired networks. It also maintains your speed keeping your ISP from inspecting, prioritizing and throttling the data sent to and from your device. TOR is notoriously slow.

We’ve done a great deal of work on our VyprVPN app to make it simple to use so it’s much less intimidating for the average person than TOR.

In regards to pricing, VyprVPN is a premium VPN service. It is important to remember not all VPNs are created equal. At Golden Frog, we own and operate our own VPN servers and network so we can provide a premium service that is fast and reliable. We aren’t aware of any other VPN provider that can make this claim. Our users continually tell us that VyprVPN is the fastest VPN that they have tried but that we also are reliable.

We definitely encourage you to try our [three day free trial]( ) to decide for yourself.

With most things gold related, the benefits stop as soon as your gold expires, no more access to /r/lounge, all features revoked etc.

This is the page for the bonus', as I gave mine away a week or so ago, it stilll shows me the old codes, so I wouldn't risk trying to wait till after the gold expires as you probably won't get the same page anymore.

Here's my codes, not sure what, if any, has been used:

When you connect to VyprVPN you are encrypting your Internet connection. By encrypting your connection a VPN adds a layer of security to your mobile browsing and Internet communications, preventing others from intercepting your personal information. A VPN also prevents your ISP from seeing the websites you visit, who you message, what you download etc. This page explains these benefits in greater detail. If you have additional questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Attention redditors, we also have a reddit contest running. Tell us your VPN experiences and you can win a VyprVPN Premier account with a year of free service. The 10 most engaged, insightful, and passionate contributors to the conversation will win. Good luck!

Thank you for your reply. This had concerned me a great deal, I'm relieaved to know the reason behind that decision. I hope your engineers find a solution :)

After using VyprVPN I can say I'm very pleased with it.

I was curious about this so I googled around, and this seems like the best overview:

Basically: VyprVPN is upfront about what they log, while PIA says they "have proprietary methods available to deal with these issues without compromising the security and privacy of other users." It sounds like they do something that's nearly the same as logging but call it something else for PR reasons.

It seems like it boils down to, is VyprVPN's published privacy policy good enough, or do you want to gamble with PIA doing things they refuse to tell you about?

VyprVPN's side is here:

Depending on which plan you choose, VyprVPN offers up to 3 simultaneous connections. You can setup VyprVPN on as many devices as you'd like, but you can only access the service on one, two or three devices at the same time (depending on your plan).

Note: You are correct that setting up VyprVPN on your router counts as one connection. However, every device connected to that router won't count as an additional connection.
