RE: Net Neutrality vs Open DNS - Compton - 11-27-2017 nothing new ISP's has been controlling people internet speed for Dockery years now at the end of the day, Open DNS will not if the isp want to control your internet speed to a website A VPN will not stop an ISP from slowing your speed what a VPN will help with is if your ISP block access to a site then with a VPN you can get access it will also encrypt your data from your ISP note never use a free VPN RE: Net Neutrality vs Open DNS - Britec - 11-27-2017 There is a lot of scaremongering going on in Youtube about VPN and why you need one. Some key things to remember.
Countries that are good for VPN: Argentina - No data retention law Brazil - No data retention law Bulgaria - Data retention law not applicable to VPN providers Cyprus - Data retention law declared unconstitutional (?) Czech Republic - No data retention law (declared unconstitutional) Hong Kong - No data retention law (?) Iceland - No data retention period specified (?); good privacy laws Japan - No data retention law Luxemburg - Data retention law not applicable to VPN providers Netherlands - Data retention law not applicable to VPN providers Panama - No data retention law Romania - Data retention law declared unconstitutional Serbia - Data retention law not applicable to VPN providers (?) Sweden - Data retention law going into effect in May 2012, but (presumably) not applicable to VPNs Taiwan - No data retention law (?) + seemingly good privacy laws Ukraine - No data retention law RE: Net Neutrality vs Open DNS - Partha - 11-27-2017 (11-27-2017, 12:31 PM)Compton Wrote: A VPN will not stop an ISP from slowing your speedNot really, Compton; a VPN service could be used as a workaround to the intentional slowdowns in speed by the ISP RE: Net Neutrality vs Open DNS - LarryTheComputerGuy - 11-27-2017 If Net Neutrality goes away, Your ISP can prevent you from using a VPN. They will also be able to charge extra fees for using various services like Netflix... Here is a video that Barnacules did to explain it: RE: Net Neutrality vs Open DNS - Timster - 11-27-2017 Exactly @LarryTheComputerGuy RE: Net Neutrality vs Open DNS - Partha - 11-27-2017 It would depend on the new law essentially; if the ISP blocks access to the known VPN services, of course those VPN services won't work, but it would be difficult to pass a law like this VPN services can be used for other security reasons and not just to circumvent blocked sites, and so implementing such a law could be asking for trouble RE: Net Neutrality vs Open DNS - Britec - 11-27-2017 ISP in the UK already use data management. Cable cutters using internet with VPN to stream Live TV will drive ISP to use data management on them users, maybe reducing the speed because they know they are connected to a VPN or another IP and trying to hide from them, China and Russia have banned VPN. I can already see changes happening with internet usage in the UK and it will only get worst. I think the days of you can the whatever the F**K you like on the internet is coming to a end. Also you can shout from the roof tops and cry as much as you like, but when has the government listened to us? This is more clear than Jerry's video RE: Net Neutrality vs Open DNS - jmitservices - 11-27-2017 Thats a great video Britec. RE: Net Neutrality vs Open DNS - Compton - 11-28-2017 That is hapen when governments want to control Internet and the isp.s want to pull people dry of all $! $$ RE: Net Neutrality vs Open DNS - PrimeDirective64 - 11-28-2017 this whole net neutrality crap has really got me in a tizzy. do you think for someone like me who is in a package deal with comcast is unaffected -if and when comcast decides to control my internet access? we have 2 years of special offer. |
