A lot of reading, will check it out later. I just want to try to keep any logs on my internet activity as limited as possible. I just think it is my business, and no one else's. I have not yet checked out my ISP about what they log, will do so soon. It can't hurt to use a VPN can it? I am just wondering if there is not much point to it all.
