They're good for hiding IP from websites and privacy from them, but they will absolutely turn you over on government order.

They don't log IP addresses but they can be patriot acted into watching their network temporarily. But they have a canary so you can see when.

I use them for basic privacy, but they're not the one to use if you need advanced privacy. They also don't allow torrenting so keep that in mind.
