Also you most certainly will put a target on your back using advanced techniques and elaborate efforts to hide one's self. Or not so elaborate but the very first thing I was ever told when I began studying this stuff was "if you're breaking the law in any way or intend to, stop that, and don't."...

Awe come on atanere, you can do so on a Raspberry Pi on your lunch break:D

More disclaimers needed lol. The greatest and most gifted minds in the world, or rather a sizable number of them, and those who do care and depend upon their knowledge, would certainly make their displeasure known if a VPN provider swore one thing and then threw their clients under the bus by...

All true, and I always wish I had a 700 word disclaimer as a signature lol. One has to consider what kind of technical knowledge they have and what platform they must do their business on, and do the best they can. Having followed careful directions and observed the results since I don't have...

Me too. That would be professional suicide on their part though, and I'd hate to be them if they violated a user agreement. They are under a microscope.

I still have an account but there are a couple of providers I'm watching. Nord claims to "have" a great many servers but they lease much of that, which is where the breach occurred. Just a thing to keep in mind. Thanks!:) Btw I just repeat what the guru's are yelling about... I like a couple...

Not suggesting anyone did so intentionally but I hate to see people get the impression that using VPN is about hiding from authorities. Any company making money from your personal business (and yes authorities that are trying desperately to catch criminals and do like to know where folks are)...

Yes, I've chosen the nuclear option, and I sit sipping my coffee in the middle of a still-smoking scorched-earth environment with only my iPhone, and cellular connection, and if my iPhone is nervous it should be because because it's next as soon as I'm satisfied with my strategy. Some think it...

Thanks, I should clarify the question I asked I think... DVD/USB depending on several factors regarding what I'm trying to do or what I have available but being in the habit years since of not bothering much with DVD at all I wondered if I'd missed an advantage here...

One question though, I notice people still mentioning DVD and can't see the advantage over live USB at all. I have a nice fresh 64 gb USB stick ready I paid a bit for and am curious.

Thank you all, I agree that I'm likely the source of the problem, as I've deliberately asked for trouble on occasion while studying security issues. Never with any Linux distro even close although I'm sure it would remain unaffected without my input. I've read much on doing a proper integrity...

After much reading of the forums to find answers, I registered today in hope of getting advice on a problem no single solution really covers. I considered posting in a security area so people would not look at me as if I had 3 heads and a tail , but I'll take my chances in General. I've spent...
