Over the past years people became more and more aware of the security issues. From governments spying their people to hackers and all kind of ill intended guys. Sure, every once in a while there is a whistleblower like Edward Snowden.
Becoming more and more clearer that our privacy is not respected we are looking for all kinds of security and anonymity application. The tip of the ice-berg are a few cryptocurrencies and some VPNs.
Only a few cryptocurrencies are truly anonymous. Some think about Monero or Zcash. Only few will hide your address while offer solid security.
Same goes for VPNs. If you want to hide your IP and traffic, there are a few VPNs that won't keep logs and offer you top security technology. You need to do your research well. Dig deep. Check forums like reddit. Follow any trails you can find. Start with finding if the vpn is reliable. Check how their speed is, how they treat clients, how fast and reliable is their client service. Also, it is a good sign if they have plenty of guides/tutorial on how to make the best use of their service.
