   I've seen this happen before when people think they're telling us something   
   when they are actually saying we should only hide under a rock and only   
   come out at night "if we want to be safe" from whatever it is _they_ are   
   afraid of.   
      
   In every case, those saying it's "not safe" have no data at all.   
   They just made it all up.   
   Out of nothing.   
      
   It stems from their own fears of everything that moves in the night.   
   Shadows all.   
      
   It's never rational.   
   It's always irrational.   
      
   And, when you ask for details, they never are forthcoming.   
   Because they made it all up.   
      
   Out of nothing but their own fears of their own shadows.   
      
   You can't tell me not to use this simple solution without providing a   
   solution that solves the problem you are claiming wrecks this solution.   
      
   I'm going to pose my question bluntly, not because I expect an answer, but   
   because I'm trying to explain that people who say what you said have no   
   answer.   
      
   They have only their own irrational trumped up imaginary fears.   
   But no solutions.   
      
   What other free vpn service do you propose that you feel is much safer?
