RE: INTERNET NEUTRALITY - WHY YOU NEED A VPN! - Money Well Spent

in #internet7 years ago

I have only used a free VPN chrome plugin. I see lifelong or yearly deals on slickdeals quite often. I don't think there is a plugin for Brave Browser yet.

Are these plugins or do they work as a program before you even open up the internet?

I don't think, well I hope in all the deepest parts of myself that the internet is a battle they will not win. How far will we be pushed into the corner by them trying, before we fight back.. we will see.

What do you think of the potential for a worldwide internet service like Space X and Elon Musk are trying? It will drop prices and improve speed I am guessing at least. So that will be a victory. I am only basing that by google fiber going into big cities forcing the crap service providers to offer better services for cheaper.

Free markets are beautiful when they work right. They are crony capatalism and monopolies when they don't.

Great reply!
All good questions, anyone might need to understand, thankyou.
a) These are executable apps installed on the telephone or computer you are using. I have mine set to start with the Operating System and auto-connect to the VPN server, so mostly, I don't have to touch it, and it's always on.
b) It may be possible to use a VPN strictly for web browsing with a plug-in, but keep in mind any other programs using the internet will not be protected from your ISP prying eyes.
c) We really CAN NOT EXPECT central authorities to bless an open internet; we will have to create it ourselves in someways and the more they push, the more the public will push back.

Not entirely clear what that will look like, but I do expect a fight, which will become very hi-tech, with measures, then counter measures. This is exactly what I currently find with SuddenLink, so they are prepping me for the future fight around the world I assume.

And to me, it looks like IPvanish is at the forefront of this almost weaponized technology ;-)

FIGHTING FOR AN OPEN INTERNET, ONE ISP AT A TIME!
