The existence of the NSA and their activities is not proof that they have backdoors in VPNs. That's bogeyman conspiracy theory shit—"they could be anywhere, therefore they're everywhere!"

You still haven't answered the question, and I'm beginning to think you are making shit up based on paranoia.

Go ahead and use these services. I don't care about you, what you do or what you think. You are deeply serious if you are not paranoid about the surveillance and I really have nothing to discuss with you.

Is there literally any evidence that the US government managed to extract useful information from no-log vpn providers in the US?

[–] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

I have (anecdotal) evidence that they, in fact, can't extract useful information from one particular no-log vpn provider in the US, PIA. They showed up to seize data, but walked away empty-handed when they found out that they are, truly, no-log and their servers run entirely from RAM, so no drives to extract data from.
