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.

There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Everything David Nolen Mentioned

When watching David Nolen's excellent Lambda Jam keynote on InfoQ, the references to interesting reading came a little too fast and furious for me to jot down, so I went through the slides and put this gist together.
