Labour: We want the Snoopers' Charter because of Snowden

Thank goodness for VPNs!

Me too, i'm disgusted with Labour.

Jeremy Corbyn has become Alexis Tsipras. In other words, a traitor to the people.

If passed into law, and this now seems highly likely, this bill will mandate a data retention regime unprecedented in any "Western democracy".

So we better get used to be treated like we are all criminals. I'm not a criminal of course, but I'm already running a VPN connection on all my devices. (If anyone's interested, personally I've been using a reputable zero-logs provider for over a year now http://www.vpnworld.org/ipvanish ). I just have no desire whatsoever for my "online life" to be stored away on my ISP's servers!

And my ISP is throttling bandwidth, so I actually find that with the VPN connection my internet speeds are faster for browsing and streaming. This is actually logical because my internet traffic is encrypted through the VPN so my ISP can't "read" my activities and thus cannot filter my traffic, and most importantly cannot store any of my online movements.

UK Snoopers' Charter crashes through critics into the next level

Re: Typical Labour

Couldn't agree more with you! These politicians are absolutely ridiculous and an embarrassment to the country!

This law is going to be the "final solution" to citizens' privacy. Gives me the shivers just thinking about it. The snoopers will log every URL every citizen visits and store it for 12 months, and that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Thank goodness I'm already all set and ready for the snoopers, am already running a VPN connection on all my devices. I'm not a criminal and I don't surf on suspicious websites, I just don't want the snoopers to log my every online move and store my life on their servers! It's that simple!

But I guess we better get used to be treated like we are all criminals. Personally, I've been using a reputable zero-logs provider for over a year now http://www.vpnworld.org/ipvanish So thanks to the snoopers, I'm not planning on cancelling my subscription anytime soon...

BBC shuts off iPlayer to UK VPNs, cutting access to overseas fans

Use a SmartDNS instead of a VPN

The one technology that the BBC won't be able to shut off is a SmartDNS connection, aka DNS tunneling. And it actually streams faster than through a VPN connection. So hope this helps all those stranded out there!

p.s. Here's the SmartDNS provider I'm using: http://www.vpnworld.org/overplay
