    As a purely leisure traveler, I can't see why anybody would put themselves through the US border system as the start of their holiday. Talk about starting on a downer.

    The UK already refuses to extradite for criminal proceedings where the death penalty is a possibility. It must specifically be denied as an option for sentence prior to extradition…

    This is all totally true. It is also totally true that you are not squeaky clean in your employment (never been late once? Never missed a deadline?), and that your performance mana…

    Good god... I just Google'd the IWW. Their website looks, at a glance, like a militant extreme left group. From the hard white-and-red on black colour scheme through to a photo of …

    More like time to ditch the Dutch endpoints. See how PIA reacted to similar legislation in the UK: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2016/12/private-i... Pretty soon we'll…

    Hire a lawyer with a "dead man" instruction to instigate such action if he's not informed otherwise within 48 hours. Keep money for legal fees in escrow for that purpose. Shouldn't…

    Do you have a job or family? How long would the former keep you employed? How long would the latter last without your support? Could you afford legal fees without employment? It's …

    You'd also need to create new accounts for all your services each time, or any basic logging of access will trivially link your SIM, data provider's IP, your VPN, and your endpoint…

    You don't think they give up after one try, do you? Look as us Brits with the IP Bill (Snooper's Charter). May tried to push it through a couple of years ago as Home Secretary and …

    My iPhone forces password entry after 5 failed attempts at TouchID unlock. If you can quickly thumb the sensor a few times, you can render fingerprint unlock impossible. Better to …

    You must verify your account with a mobile phone if you sign up using Tor. You can use an email address if it's not over Tor.

    Do you ask for personal information as part of your signup process? First name, last name, email address etc? If you don't encrypt the data or take basic precautions against unauth…

    Bin them. Bin Amazon Prime too. Be sure to tell them why you're doing it. Cable was originally advert-free. It was slipped in gradually over time. They got away with it because peo…
