Gonna have to say, what the hell on this one. They did list some great providers, but why are they listing EarthVPN after the logging fiasco?
CryptoStorm is structurally anonymous by default.
Gotta say, I'm a little disappointed with this one.
The 3 obvious ones that people already knew collected data.
- HideMyAss: There was a scandal in which they handed over data to the UK to catch a hacker.
- HotSpotShield: They are a typical newb VPN, they offer free service at fairly good speeds, obviously not trustworthy.
- Hola VPN: They are a P2P VPN, when you use it, you are allowing others to use your IP as their VPN.
- VPN Gate: VPN Gate is a free, decentralized and distributed VPN service, trustworthiness varies by which VPN server you choose.
Never choose a VPN headquartered in any of the following countries:
- USA
- Canada
- UK
- Australia
- New Zealand
- Anywhere in the EU
- Norway
- Israel
The best two countries for data security are Iceland and Switzerland. If you want a good VPN, go with ProtonVPN (based in Switzerland, also hosts ProtonMail) or CryptoStorm (based in Iceland).
It literally says on their website.
„WireGuard is not yet complete. You should not rely on this code. It has not undergone proper degrees of security auditing and the protocol is still subject to change. We're working toward a stable 1.0 release, but that time has not yet come. „
Edit: try CryptoStorm vpn
After reading the convoluted post, I inferred following:
CSIS (Canadian Intelligence) came to them trying to ask them to compromise a portion of their service likely to intercept traffic of one or some of their users. CryptoStorm (CS) refused. As a result one or more of their members were picked up by CSIS, were lightly but physically tortured, had their families threatened, had one person's dog (puppy) killed, among other things.
In the end, it seems they were let go, without having to agree to compromising the service, possibly with threats to not go public with their ordeal. Hence the cryptic post.
Sad state of affairs in Canada unfortunately. Not sure how it will work under the new government or if the government change had any thing to do with the end of CryptoStorm's troubles.
What do I have to gain from shilling for Windscribe? They don't have an affiliate program that will get me some quick cash. It's just a service I subscribe to and really like. Read my reply to your other comment for a discussion. I don't get why you're so salty. I'm entitled to an opinion just as you, so don't try and call me a shill. I just as often recommend Mullvad, IVPN, AirVPN, CryptoStorm, and OVPN. This question was specific to Windscribe and I answered it.
Five questions:
If CryptoStorm was still operating within Canada why is the organization using an Icelandic domain for their website address?
Why were these alleged activities carried out by CSIS, rather than the CSE?
What is the real / offline name of the "core cryptostorm team member" who is allegedly being held hostage by "rogue CSIS agents"?
How did CryptoStorm determine the incident was carried out by "rogue CSIS agents" specifically, rather than being part of an authorized CSIS operation?
Can CryptoStorm benefit from these allegations?
> Your traffic will be encrypted and resnet and anyone else won't be able to see what you're doing.
Not completely true. VPNs only add a layer of indirection, tunneling your traffic through your VPN provider's servers. UCSD can't see what you're doing, but your provider (eg. CryptoStorm) can, and other people can see that one of the provider's customers is, say, torrenting Game of Thrones. And it's not UCSD that monitors these torrents, it's the production companies. If they cared enough they could take a court order to your VPN provider and try to make them cough up your identity. Many providers claim that they don't keep traffic logs, but there's really no way of verifying that as a customer. The FBI has even set up VPN services as honeypots—secretly logging all traffic—in the past (see the Max Vision case).
> CSIS (Canadian Intelligence) came to them trying to ask them to compromise a portion of their service likely to intercept traffic of one or some of their users. CryptoStorm (CS) refused.

Holy fuck, my government is doing the dirty work, and just few days ago we were hailed as the best in personal privacy. Fucking sick to my stomach. FUCK YOU Canadian government. I suspect this incident with Cryptostorm has something to do with the recent passed C-51.
Both of the VPN providers you mention are based out of the same country (I know that HMA is based out of the UK, but the US has the UK in their pocket)
The fact that HMA logs is reason enough to not trust them. I wouldn't touch HMA with a 10 foot pole.
If you want REALLY cheap and a VPN based out of a better country for privacy laws then try CyberGhost as they have a Christmas/New year sale going right now.
You can get a VPN for 24$/year on their sale from a trusted VPN provider based out of Romania.
They have been around for around 8 years and do not log, allow P2P and have servers in 20 countries and growing.
You can also look into these other great providers
First and foremost I recommend a VPN outside of the US & U.K. here's the direct link to the suggested site's VPN charts
The IVPN and Mullvad recommendations are excellent choices, tho IVPN is expensive... others recommend CryptoStorm. there's some other good looking VPNs as well.
He should have given context. Anyway, I did some research and that particular article actually IS relevant. The main legal fugitive in the article is Doug Spink, and he is/was affiliated with CryptoStorm. Just google his name and some stuff comes up on that
Doug created CryptoStorm.
IIRC he loved animals too much, smuggled hundreds of pounds of cocaine and only served a 3 year sentence. This was a while ago but at the time there were suspicions of him getting out early by giving the service over to the FBI.
No Database or Records means they are trying to tell you that they don't keep logs. BUT the only one so far we have been able to verify through an FBI subpoena is PIA. Check our list for more information.
Does CryptoStorm own the Hardware? Where are their servers located?
Hmmm.... regarding CryptoStorm, the presentation was sloppy. However, u/tweIph might actually have a certain point with that. I did my own research and Doug Spink ( i think that was the name), the weirdo in the linked article, apparently is associated with CryptoStorm. Google search of the name seems to indicate that, anyway
Even though the main post criticizing these VPNS is, in my opinion, FUD (my problem is that I have never heard of the sources posted, and that the user seemed to be pretty upset with PTIO personally), I still think enough of the information is accurate that it warrants doing our own little mini "audit" of the VPNS that the PrivacyToolsIO site recommends, since thousands of people use it as a trusted resource
CryptoStorm is only a quid a week? That's very good value. Are they worth getting?
I've been tinkering with the idea of getting a VPN for privacy sake but have never really been able to justify the expense. But for the price of a can of coke a week it doesn't make sense not to really.
IVPN is technically in the UK IIRC
This is my short list
Lokun
NordVPN is my 1st choice 2nd choice is
I get great speeds with them. I personally don't notice any slowdowns while on the servers. I pull near full on my internet speeds when using them with OpenVPN. I sure don't have 50mbit internet, but am pulling great speeds with my net connection while using them.
Got to admit though, CryptoStorm has been a little faster for me. But only a little, not by far.
A maioria das iniciativas dentro do protocolo DAO são boas. O resto eu nunca vi.
Devemos lembrar que a Empíricus comprou o podcast CryptoStorm cujo apresentador tem uma mente muito boa pra cripto. Ele não é mais um marginalzinho de colete como é comum entre os analistas da Empiricus. Esqueci o nome do cara, mas é bom.
Here is a good list:
I use ExpressVPN, since I live in China, and I am very satisfied with their service. If I would start now, looking at the above list, I would first try CryptoStorm.
I think I would like to tag /u/ProtonVPN in this thread. I have done some reading on their subreddit over at /r/ProtonVPN and it looks to be VERY well developed for something that has just started. I have full intentions of renewing my current subscriptions with IVPN, CryptoStorm, and possibly Mullvad, but they could be a big competitor in the VPN game. As I said above, it is VERY early for me to make commitments for or against their VPN in a personal sense. But I won't discredit their efforts even if I decide not to use it. The have what I would consider to be the best all around privacy-centric and secure email provider out there. I can't imagine them developing a VPN company would result in any less dedication to our privacy and security.

J'en ai testé un peu moins d'une 20ène.
- Mullvad si tu veux du solide efficace et propre. Ils s'auditent régulièrement et on toujours été en avance sur les faille et les patchs.
- CryptoStorm si tu cherches le VPN maintenu par des ex hackers qui testent aussi de nouvelles approches, sont alimentés par le couple paranoïa/passion.
Les deux acceptent les bitcoins si tu veux être anonyme au payement, et ne conservent pas de logs.
CryptoStorm setup in Linux is confusing. See at bottom for instructions on using token. TL;DR: username for openvpn is sha512 hash of token, and there is no password. CA and config files are at <;.
Also, use openvpn daemon, not Network Manager. Specify DNS nameservers in and prevent leaks with iptables.
Yeah, it's an entirely trust-based industry. It's all about whether you can trust them when they claim they don't keep logs or they will fail to update their warrant canary if/when they get a National Security Letter or they will not give in to requests they cannot be compelled to, etc.
Add to it the fact that most of them have referral programs and VPN reviews are among the most common paid reviews in the tech industry, and it is at best a questionable choice.
For what it's worth, Private Internet Access has been subpoenaed in the past, and it is therefore confirmed that they have no logs to give (there was a court document linked on /r/vpn a while back). Similarly, CryptoStorm has no information to give on you, as long as you connect to a server which has at least one other account using it, because of how they process authentication.
If you're further interested in privacy, I would recommend purchasing a VPN that doesn't log connections (they run about $40-$60 a year, I personally use CryptoStorm) and using the RandomAgentSpoofer add-on. The VPN will obscure your location and secure your traffic from on lookers in your ISP and RandomAgentSpoofer randomizes different parts of your browser fingerprint, like your reported operating system, reported browser, and more. I also recommend, like said in other comments, you use NoScript.
The biggest difference between CryptoStorm and Spideroak is that spideroak has promised from the very beginning to release their source code, but have not done so. I would also like to recommend them, but there is no way to verify their encryption.
Most VPN providers indeed do lie about logs. Read CryptoStorm's interview answer to question #1
- Interview with VPN
If you read the whole thing it has a lot of great info on how most VPN providers are complete garbage. But, a majority of VPN providers don't know what they are doing.
Agreed. I was also very upset they mentioned EarthVPN after the logging fiasco at all.
CryptoStorm is structurally anonymous by default. I feel the list could use a bit of revising myself. But I do agree that a lot of the VPN providers on here are pretty good.
Odd you didn't get auto approved. I would say if you don't get your login details by Monday night, or Tuesday morning file for a refund, and if they refuse, open a report with the Better Business Bureau.
Anyway, I would say maybe since its the weekend, none of the employees aside from customer service are working. Their support is okay, but very irritating I do have to agree. Anyway, wait till Monday, if no response go with another company.
CyberGhost, AirVPN, LiquidVPN, CryptoStorm, all good companies I would recommend.
I donrnuse Surfshaek but I have a rule about VPNs.
If it has a strong connection to the US then I presume despite that they all say no-logging that they're logging and will roll over for US Agencies and or give certain ones even worse.
VPNs advertised on YouTube "influencers" channels are all crap. So Virtuasheild, ExpressVPN, Surfshark, and NordVPN I would prob only use for leas sensitive shit.
That being said I suppose you could've had a DNS leak or a leak (DNS, IPV6 , or WebRTC) I guess it depends in your torrent client. Other than that I suposoe you can try to use a more security/privacy focused VPN , Mullcad, Aizire. I've also used AirVPN for along time back in the day. Not the best in terms of privacy as the other 3 but I think its adequate enough for torre ing.
Other than that i suppose look at a Seedbox.
The sites that say "Nord is amazing for torrenting" are operated by NordVPN's affiliates who make a huge cutback when you purchase NordVPN using their links. That's their sole motivation to get you to buy NordVPN.
All the large crappy aggressively marketed VPNs like NordVPN, ExpressVPN, and Surfshark (Nord-owned) do not support port forwarding which allows one to seed.
Get a VPN that supports port forwarding and seed away, I recommend any of Mullvad, Windscribe, IVPN, OVPN, or CryptoStorm.
I am concerned for my privacy, the reason why I am shopping around. CryptoStorm has really great features but, I decided on another service besides the one I am currently using.
I do nothing illegal. I just dont want my ISP to snoop around, i dont want my data collected and sold.
I will be deleting this thread since I have found a suitable service that meets my criteria.
You can even use the "Build-A-Plan" to include one premium location (1 USD a month, Chile in your case) and unlimited data and ad-blocking (1 USD a month), so 2 USD a month paid monthly for Chile (+11 free countries) + unlimited data + ad-blocking.
And yes, good call on not using NordVPN ( / Surfshark / ExpressVPN). It's a terrible choice for anything privacy-related. Website and apps riddled with trackers, got hacked and didn't tell its customer until publicly exposed, shady auto-renewal (with 4x price increases) that's difficult to cancel, sponsors thousands of YouTubers to spam you with its promotions.
Feel free to message me if you need any further help. Other good options are Mullvad, IVPN, IVPN, CryptoStorm, and OVPN (but these, sadly, do not have servers in Chile).
You will never find the best VPNs (IVPN, Mullvad, Windscribe, OVPN, CryptoStorm, AirVPN) recommended in "reviews" because they don't offer high affiliate commissions (some of these don't offer commissions at all). The reviewers have no incentive to shill them.
These reviewers aren't there to get you the best products, they're out there to make some quick affiliate cash.
List of recommended VPNs (2022) but it's not among the cheapest VPNs.
I am, in what sense it's suspicious? It's very easy to do a fact check on what I said.
This the address CryptoStorm has provided for port forwarding http://10.31.33.7/fwd
Let me know if you can open that page.
Air VPN website says WireGuard is in beta.
If you really need to finish that torrent and it's a problem of connectivity (due to lack of port-forwarding), you can buy 1 week of CryptoStorm for $1.86, 3 days of AirVPN for 2€ or 1 month of Mullvad for 5€. The first 2 are a bit for techies though.
Alternatively, in case you're in a country that is friendly on p2p/torrenting you can always take the risk, just make sure UPnP / NAT-PMP is enabled on the torrent client preferences.
Nice, I'll update my thread to point to this one. By the way, the link you have for mine is pointing to your previous thread.
As for the list I can contribute to CryptoStorm:
> Large number of ports (+10) between 30000 and 65535 available for each server, configured at http://10.31.33.7/fwd (requires connection). A random port is suggested but can be manually chosen.
Malheureusement, le VPN gratos c'est la meilleure solution pour te faire sucer tes données quand tu es connecté... Y a régulièrement des bonnes offres sur le-VPN-qui-vient-du-Nord. Sinon j'ai utilisé longtemps CryptoStorm et outre le nom très stylé jetais content. Sinon tu ne connais pas quelqu'un de confiance avec un serveur en France qui pourrait te bricoler un VPN ?
If I'm not mistaken, Warp doesn't even tunnel torrent traffic. I wouldn't use it in any case. Norton Secure VPN is probably a white-label solution too. My advice would be to get any of Mullvad, IVPN, Windscribe, CryptoStorm, AirVPN, OVPN. Good luck on your hunt!
Mullvad, IVPN, Windscribe, CryptoStorm, AirVPN, OVPN.
Stay the fuck away from CyberGhost and ExpressVPN in particular because they're owned by Kape, a company that spread malware in the past and has ties to Israeli intelligence (Unit 8200).
LMAO, butthurt NordVPN user / affiliate / employee detected. xD
NordVPN can bombard YouTube, VPN reviews sites, but u/daiqo (and MANY others might I add) recommend Mullvad because of their superior quality of service and suddenly we're the shills. What a joke.
Go back to using NordVPN and life your salty life - your poor taste in VPNs is showing.
P.S.: I recommend Mullvad, Windscribe, IVPN, AirVPN, and CryptoStorm too and only the penultimate (Google the meaning) in this list has an affiliate program. Surely I'm hired by ALL of these evil companies too to steal business from ethical organic players like your wife NordVPN and your mistresses ExpressVPN and Surfshark?
M247 is a hugely popular VPN egress provider. You can give CryptoStorm a shot - it uses iomart for its London location. Windscribe could also fit your use-case. In the UK, they have Digital Energy Technologies, Datapacket, and EstNOC besides M247. Good luck on your hunt!
Don't use VPNs without port-forwarding and WireGuard protocol.
That's it.
There are only 4 VPNs with both and a clean track record: Mullvad, CryptoStorm, OVPN and AirVPN. You can read more about it here.
So that's a pass on Surfshark or others like NordVPN, ExpressVPN and so on. Actually yesterday there was a dude defending NordVPN and their great speeds but one day earlier he was complaining about torrent speeds. That's what happens when you use a VPN without port-forwarding.
Honestly they should pin this information.
Neither, I'm using WireGuard. Go to their WireGuard config website.
This is the issue with CryptoStorm, it's one of the best VPNs out there but it's not made to be user-friendly.
I can't download anyhing while using CryptoStorm. Every torrent have a status "downloading metadata" or "[F] Downloading" and nothing happens. Both download and upload speeds are at 0. As soon as I turn off VPN it starts to download with full speed.
List of recommended VPNs (2022)
In short - Mullvad, OVPN, CryptoStorm or AirVPN. The last 2 aren't recommended if you're not a techie. But check the thread, especially part 3 on what you should do after selecting VPN.
NordVPN, Surfshark, and ExpressVPN are the most overrated products in the digital space. These companies have over-marketed themselves without justifiable product quality.
I'd recommend any of IVPN, Mullvad, Windscribe, CryptoStorm, AirVPN, and OVPN.
CryptoStorm, AirVPN, IVPN, Windscribe, OVPN.
All of these have WireGuard but only CryptoStorm and AirVPN have port forwarding over WireGuard.
IVPN, Windscribe, OVPN only support port forwarding via other protocols such as OpenVPN or IKEv2.
Mullvad is about as good as it gets. If it doesn't seem to work out for you, try Windscribe or CryptoStorm. I'd normally recommend IVPN and OVPN too but they have a very limited selection of servers and will clearly not work out in your case.
CryptoStorm and Windscribe both have servers in Moldova and could fit your use case (Windscribe even has servers in Russia by the way and you can "Build-A-Plan" with just the Russia location for 2 USD a month or Russia and Moldova for 3 USD a month).
Other VPNs that could work for you are PrivateVPN (has servers in both Moldova and Russia) and CactusVPN (has servers in Russia), but I cannot vouch for them personally as I haven't tried their service. I have heard good things though.
Good luck with your hunt!
Both Mullvad and Windscribe are able to saturate my 400 Mbps line. I don't have a gigabit connection, so I can't comment about your potential speeds.
PIA is Kape-owned (like ExpressVPN) so I would stay away regardless of speeds.
I think you could try OVPN - they're apparently very speedy, but they have a small selection of servers, so their speeds will depend greatly on your location. If you need streaming, Mullvad, IVPN, CryptoStorm, etc. will not fit your use case. What device and OS are you on - Windows?
Consider using it for a while to see how it goes (you already have an active sub, nothing to lose). Check out other VPNs like Mullvad, IVPN, AirVPN, CryptoStorm, and OVPN in case you don't find Windscribe up to the mark.
You should ask this question when your sub is about to run out next.
This is why you need to use encryption with plausible deniability. CryptoStorm and ProtonVPN are the best services to go for.
It requires you to use a custom app, not a deal-breaker but the option to use OpenVPN is preferable. It is based in Finland which does have good privacy laws, but they're part of the EU so I wouldn't choose it. CryptoStorm is the best option.
CryptoStorm can't keep specific user identity logs by design, since they don't require an e-mail and the username is a generated random hash/token. Pay with Gift Card or cryptocurrency for maximum anonymity.
If your using proxy/vpn browser that means only the traffic from that browser is being "protected" you would want to configure your proxy/vpn info you have set up in your torrent client or get a full VPN service like PIA or CryptoStorm. I suggest you configure with VPN so you and encrypt your packets and also test your bittorrent client
I know at least 3 bots able to do that: 1. CryptoStorm - 0.15 BTC 2. GunBot - 0.1 BTC 3. PoloniexV3 - 0.18 BTC
They have differenet algos to do that, might have different behaviour for different market conditions leading to pump/dump.
Based on their price - they do not worth to be used, unless you find where purchase them a lot cheaper (like I did).
Just a note on your statement on Cryptostorm, as the privacy expert mirimir said:
>Both CryptoStorm's Windows and OSX clients leaked IPv4 while reconnecting after uplink interruption. And they totally leak IPv6.
(Source
Good review. I use VikingVPN alongside AirVPN and CryptoStorm as one of my primary VPNs. Speeds are great. Logging policy is great. Overall very nice. Especially with the Good Friday deal they have going on right now. Can't beat 50% off!
Maybe use a VNP is a good idea than Tor, I dont recommend you to use free VPN for anonyma & privacy concern but I think its worth have a look to CryptoStorm section for testing.
I don't know if it's your case but if you care about your freedom use OpenSource software & OS :)
CryptoStorm is a joke. Their staff has consistently discredited themselves with incredibly dumb statements.
CyberGhost's privacy policy is a joke. It's evident that they log for sure, they tend to be overpriced and exclusive, and most of all, their support staff isn't particularly competent. I'd personally avoid it for any intention that involves privacy, but if you're just looking to torrent, you should be fine.
Privatoria is cheap. Can't extensively comment on it.
I am confused about the vpn work sheet, their is alot of blank spotsin different places like dns requests and others. how do I compair the company's? I have it down to AirVPN, AzireVPN, CryptoStorm, , Ivacy, IVPN, Lokun, Mullvad, MyIP, OctaneVPN, , Perfect Privacy, RiseupVPN, , , VikingVPN and VPNArea. I live in maryland usa, I will heavily download bittorents.
How are you getting "best" for PIA? The closest to a perfect score appears to be IVPN. AirVPN, CryptoStorm, PIA, and VikingVPN would be the next highest scores, but with PIA being based in the US, that would be my personal lowest choice (VikingVPN is also in the US, but they have a warrant canary, which would make me think they are in a better position against gag orders). I weighted "logging" as the most important criteria, and then "encryption".
Admittedly, I only compared the options for a few minutes, so I could have overlooked several good alternatives. I don't think PIA is bad, but definitely not in the running for best.
Cool concept, however I found this info.
"If Mr Spink is indeed involved with CryptoStorm, then his quick release from prison following his drug smuggling conviction, combined with the fact that following the bestiality farm case a condition of his release (.pdf) was that any computing hardware and software of his is be monitored by the United States Probation Department, could lead to well-founded suspicion that CryptoStorm might be an FBI honeypot."
I would love to see a similar concept from a reputable company.
I'd replace TrueCrypt with VeraCrypt or at least mention that VeraCrypt is the fork with the patched vulnerabilities while TrueCrypt is abandoned. You are also missing the mobile version of Tor and the Tor Browser Bundle (Orbot and OrFox).
For VPNs AirVPN and possibly CryptoStorm VPN.
Yea, I don't know what kind of people these developers are, but on the flip side evidence may be hard to publicize for a variety of legal reasons due to things like gag orders.
I am really at a loss as to whether this happened or not. I am hoping someone with more knowledge about CryptoStorm can either refute or confirm the validity of their claims and possibly produce evidence.
Check out . I haven't had a chance to use them yet but they take an interesting approach by separating the actual payment process from the VPN provider. They use a token-based system, which allows you to purchase tokens from a number of different places other than their own website. I'm planning to test their service once my current VPN provider subscription expires.
Breivik verteidigt. Der Spin, den Zugriff auf beiden Seiten sperren Tor zu finden die Ecke. Die Amerikaner machen können nicht was that CryptoStorm might be an den Medien (aka "Lügenpresse") ja durchaus mit Galgen und Städteplanung. Jemanden wie Konzeptlosigkeit, was es aber ich mir kamen 1 geistig verwirrten Messerstecher.
The only two VPNs that I am aware of that have open source clients are AirVPN and CryptoStorm. You can still use OpenVPN with all of these services, which I recommend! Viscosity is just a way for many services to have an easy to use/stable client without developing their own.
Cloudflare has nothing to do with the VPN service and does not keep logs past 10 minutes.
PPTP/L2TP is used by many VPN providers in order to support devices that only natively support these type of VPN connections, as well as a an option for under powered devices (some routers) that are not able to support the processing power for high bandwidth OpenVPN connections.
Yes, it is marketing for them. But at least now you can use any of their servers without worrying about getting in trouble for DMCA notices.
Not quite browser integration, but I believe the VPN service allows users to view .bit and .onion domains natively.
?f=64&t=8553
Tor > VPN only works if you can't be connected financially to the VPN, so buy a VPN subscription with bitcoin. Arrange the buy over Tor and do it in person with small cash. I use Riseup's free VPN, but it's US based. if the feds went after me I'd lose. others I trust like CryptoStorm, which lets you buy without personal details & is in some awesome foreign jurisdiction.
VPN > Tor hides from your ISP that you are using Tor (Tor doesn't hide that you're using Tor) and helps protect you from malicious entry nodes (because each download of Tor uses the same entry node each time it connects, if you happen to get one owned by NSA you are fucked)
I really like SpiderOak. These guys know a thing or two about serious security. I consider them the cloud storage equivalent of CryptoStorm VPN which is run by some gifted security pros.
Also, perhaps there can be a mention of software like Viivo or BoxCryptor or open source alternatives for encrypting your files before they are uploaded to cloud. While definitely should not be considered the most secure option but can be used for general storage and low security items with satisfactory encryption.
, VikingVPN, IVPN, and LiquidVPN all have warrant canaries(the only ones I'm familiar with) and CryptoStorm has "privacy seppuku" where they vow to shut down the service rather than cooperate with law enforcement.
CryptoStorm, they have a proven track record and will go to court to defend their users data as they have done with their past VPN, CryptoCloud.
CryptoStorm is also fully structurally anonymous
Cloudnymous has a bit of an odd way of operating with their severs, connections etc.
I would go with cryptostorm who has a proven track record.
Would recommend CryptoStorm for your needs. They are run by the previous owners of CryptoCloud, and located in Iceland. If you don't know CryptoCloud, look them up, they have a proven track record.
They were one, if not the first VPN provider to fully provide a non logging service. Their new service is structurally anonymous by default.
I'm looking to replace my current provider and looked at CryptoStorm but removed them from the list. Couldn't find any additional information on what they did regarding heartbleed. As far as I can tell they didn't regen their keys and replace their server certs.
Is there information I missed? If so I would use them as a replacement.
I've been using CryptoStorm, but a few things do point to him being part of CS. I haven't really seen anything saying that his internet isn't being monitored still. Can you link me to something that says he isn't being monitored? Because a lot of the articles on google point to him owning Baneki Privacy Labs and it just so happens that the twitter account for CS talks to Baneki. I just want to make sure he's not still being monitored is all and that he is in fact in Canada and not in Washington.
