Can any of the computer guru's here recommend a VPN service they use either for free or a suscription service. I need to cover my tracks using bit torrents.

www.peerblock.com/ is a decent filter if you are just trying to be a bit harder to find using torrents. It provides a list of ip's it blocks access to that are known to be bad for a variety of reasons, including being owned by powers that be and third party companies that track torrents

I used Peerblock for a while and it is great at blocking out traffic that you dont want coming and going from your computer, but it is not a VPN, so your tracks are still visible to your ISP. If they don't respect your privacy they could hand over your browsing history to the powers that be. A VPN will protect this to some extent by shielding your usage from your ISP as all your browsing goes down an encrypted tunnel. www.privateinternetaccess.com/ is getting good reviews from Aussie users, and even though it is hosted in the US which some would say are the biggest offenders of privacy invasion, it apparently is harder for the US to spy on their own people. No VPN is completley private but PIA is one of the best from what I have seen. PM me if you want any other info.
