    It's a little heavy on hype, but indeed pretty cool. Except that you're still stuck trusting Perfect Privacy.

    But I'm curious about performance.

    And it could go at the end of a nested VPN chain :)

    i'd stay away from pp, because of their ties with neo-nazi groups. :isay:

    Huh?

    There are certainly lots of neo-Nazi affiliate links out there for Perfect Privacy.

    But what's the evidence that Perfect Privacy itself has ties to neo-Nazi groups?

    I vaguely recall lots of angst on Wilders about VPNs with neo-Nazi ties. But it's not at all surprising that German neo-Nazis would use VPNs to evade censorship. Just like anti-Putin activists in Russia use VPNs. Or Chinese evading the Great Firewall. Or dark markets and child pornographers using Tor.

    FWIW:

    "Perfect Privacy VPN Review...

    An Ugly Response to an Ugly History

    As part of our research preparing for this review, we discovered Perfect Privacy was once run by a group of Neo-Nazis. You can read about it in this 2014 article, or this one from 2012.

    Those Neo-Nazi members are no longer part of the organization… at least, allegedly. They were all arrested in 2013, but very little else has come to the surface since then..."

    Huh. And yeah, 2017 isn't that long ago.

    But then, maybe the question becomes whether a neo-Nazi affiliated VPN service can be secure for its users who aren't neo-Nazis.

    And if -- let's say for very good reasons -- neo-Nazis are being rooted out, maybe they're motivated to develop secure VPN services.

    It seems clear that their OPSEC was insufficient ;)

    But anyway, I'm just curious about how well NeuroRouting works.

    Asking around, I hear that Perfect Privacy purged the neo-Nazis in 2013 or so.
