Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

Why not?

Because a VPN in this sense is just a glorified proxy. The VPN provider can see all your traffic, and do with it what they want - including logging.

	var timestamp = (new Date().getTime() / 1000 \| 0).toString(16);
	return timestamp + 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[x]/g, function() {
	return (Math.random() * 16 \| 0).toString(16);
	}).toLowerCase();
	};
