Now that the snooper’s charter has been passed, how can I protect myself? However, I recommend them to people who travel a lot or work from public Wi-Fi hotspots, because they protect your traffic from snoopers who steal passwords – or worse. If your motivation includes the snooper’s charter, choose a VPN that is not UK-based, and that does not keep any logs. TorrentFreak keeps an updated list of “which VPN services take your anonymity seriously”: The Best Anonymous VPN Services of 2016. Also, remember that a VPN doesn’t protect you from phishing emails, keyloggers, and websites that try to install “drive by” malware.
