April 13. Mark it down in your calendars — it’s “National Get a VPN Day.”
Privacy advocate group Digital Rights Watch is calling on all Australians to hide the trail they leave behind online, as Australia’s mandatory data retention scheme comes into effect.
As of tomorrow your ISP is required, by law, to begin collecting every bit of metadata about you and your internet activities for the government to call upon as they may.
If you’re looking for a good resource for researching what VPN service may suit your needs best I highly recommend you check out TorrentFreak’s VPN roundup here.
