Understood, but (a) how does that mean the company is really based/controlled by the PRC? (aside from ExpressVPN as you detailed

and(b) isn’t it the case that their paperwork/shell showing them in the BVI is the legal basis that they can avoid keeping and/or providing logs?

Try Virtual shield. It does not seem to do this for the Mac email, but yes it does it to the Outlook.

The point is that you don’t know. There’s a reason a lot of fly-by-night scammers are based in the Caribbean.

Paid or free version?

I ask because I believe ExpressVPN’s tech support is connected with their paid service. Not sure what options they offer for Free users.

I have not had this issue with KeepSolid VPN Unlimited.

There’s lots of reasons to have multiple email accounts - from personal business vs. personal to my case - where I have an account I use for anything that requires an email address, but I don’t really want to hear from them again (I call it a SPAM Filter).

Good recipe for a Mac Pro Laptop is ........

1. Proton VPN , NordVPN or PIA VPN

2. Proton E-Mail

3. Tor Browser setting “safest” ....

4. Tails OS

5. Zero personal data or media on your computer you use for surfing the net

6. WiFi Spoof that changes your MAC address every few minutes

So when you use the Outlook application on Mac with that VPN on, outlook doesn’t break your email connection and demand verification or does it just keep working?

From all the research I did when I was contemplating paying for service - the very best VPN (from a privacy perspective) is one that is based in a country that does NOT cooperate with US and other nation’s anti-privacy laws.

Obviously - as the info on ExpressVPN indicates - they are actually a Hong Kong company - thus have tentacles of China wrapped up - so no assurance of any sort of privacy.

A US Based company is still beholden to US laws and subpoena/court order power (including patriot act unconstitutional invasion).

I would have to look back at my notes from over a year ago when I was digging for details about which countries are most VPN friendly.

That is the likely scenario when dealing with VPN service. They, by design, reroute your internet traffic through servers and IP addresses that are not logical to your normal location and machine/local IP. So some authentication servers will complain and seek two-factor authentication. I”m not sure there is a total, sure-fire workaround

I am worried about one thing alone - hackers getting my information via the free wifi at the airport or the mall. The VPN short circuits that. And when I use a VPN, my primary concern is that the VPN will not route my data streams to hackers or a foreign government. I know AT&T won’t do that. I don’t really give a damn if Uncle Sam wants to look at my stuff. If he’s interested, he’ll put a tail on me, bug my apartment and vacuum up my info from government databases. It’s the havoc from having my data sent to foreign hackers and having loans taken out in my name and my bank and brokerage accounts emptied out that I’m worried about.
