Hello. This post is for the sake of knowledge and is in now way soliciting advice on breaking the law!!! I am more concerned with how protected we really are when we spend $ on VPN software. Torrents are a perfect example because if we are protected in this way then I would feel protected in normal usage such as banking.
Regarding downloading torrents while connected to a VPN what is the difference security-wise between downloading with and without the VPN?
Also, do the ISP'S that we use to connect to a VPN network have records of our usage? If I am in a hotel connecting to a VPN and download a torrent or do banking, what info would the hotel ISP have?
Also, would the VPN have records of the usage; for example, banking that contains logons, etc.?
Any clarification would be appreciated.
