   Come on... there is no "independent" VPN. If it is a company, it can, and   
   it will (if you are important enough) be corrupted. All it takes is for   
   the governments to start fiddling around and a small, lonely VPN provider   
   soon falls.   
      
   I'd rather crack someones wifi and use their connection if I had anything   
   sinister to do, than to rely on some random VPN company representative   
   I've never known and will never see in my life again.
