Pornhub has its own VPN now Yahoo Technology Pornhub has its own VPN now Brian Heater,TechCrunch 2 hours 6 minutes ago Pornhub is diversifying. The most popular site that no one you know will admit Pornhub is diversifying. The most popular site that no one you know will admit to frequenting, is launching its very own VPN service today, called, get this: VPNHub. The app, which is available on Android, iOS, MacOS and Windows, is primarily designed to offer "free and unlimited bandwidth,” according to its creators. It’s an attempt to circumvent ISP throttling, a potential boon for those who frequently visit sites with lot of video. Sites like, well, PornHub. "With 90 million visitors a day, the vast majority of whom are using devices on the go, it’s especially important that we continue to ensure the privacy of our users,” VP Corey Price said in a statement. The app is free on the aforementioned mobile platforms, but there’s a premium for desktop users. Another higher tier will drop ads, offer faster connection speeds and provide logins in additional countries, according to the company. That one runs either $13 a month or $90 for a full year subscription. Of course, there are some privacy concerns to contend with, including some security issues that have arisen in recent months. This WTF is a VPN primer should good you a good overview of what you’re contending with a bit more broadly. “Assume that all the free VPN apps that you see in the App Store and Google Play are free for a reason,” Romain wrote in the piece. “They’ll analyze your browsing habits, sell them to advertisers, inject their own ads on non-secure pages or steal your identity. You should avoid free VPNs at all costs.” So, keep that in mind. If you want to take the leap, however, the service is available now. There’s also a free seven-day trial for the premium version.

Engadget Pornhub made a VPN Engadget Daniel Cooper,Engadget 3 hours ago Arguably the biggest adult video website on the planet, Pornhub is responsible Arguably the biggest adult video website on the planet, Pornhub is responsible for plenty of folks getting their rocks off each day. But, as regulations on the internet trend rightward, access to adult content is becoming a problem. That's why the site is launching VPNhub, a Pornhub owned-and-operated VPN that will theoretically keep your browsing activity free from the prying eyes of snoopers and censors. VPNhub is launching today, and offers "free and unlimited bandwidth" on your platform of choice, as long as it's iOS, Android, Windows and Mac OS (although the last two are premium-only). "With 90 million visitors a day, the vast majority of whom are using devices on the go," said Pornhub VP Corey Price, "it's especially important that we continue to ensure the privacy of our users." The company claims that VPNhub has 1,000 servers in more than 15 countries, and that it will not log user data or browsing activity itself. It is, however, ad-supported, with users required to cough up for VPNhub Premium to remove the ads, and to use the desktop versions of the platform. Pornhub's parent, Mindgeek, does not have a great reputation for security. A 2012 breach of subsidiary sites YouPorn and Digital Playground exposed the details of more than 1.1 million users. In 2016, Brazzers' forum was hacked, with 800,000 members being outed. In 2017, Pornhub unwittingly hosted a malvertising attack that was in operation for more than a year. VPNhub is going to be available in the UK, despite the fact that it would likely be used to circumvent the country's forthcoming age-verification law. The oft-delayed regime will insist that people prove that they are over 18 before being able to access adult content, and Mindgeek is offering its AgeID platform to manage it. Engadget asked about this potential conflict to Corey Price, who said that "VPNhub is a separate service and not related to AgeID." Price later added that the VPN will "provide users with an encrypted tunnel through which they can anonymously browse the internet securely." VPNhub is available globally, with the exception of countries that the US bans its companies from dealing with. That list includes Burma, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria, while there are also reports of bans in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and China. Your mileage, then, may vary.

Pornhub launches new VPN service called VPNhub It's a brave new world. By Marcus Gilmer 3 hours ago Want to keep your porn viewing habits private? Pornhub can help. Pornhub is launching a new VPN service on Thursday. VPNhub, according to a statement from VP Corey Price, can be used for private, anonymous internet usage and features encrypted connections that utilize "1,000 servers in 15+ countries" and offer "unlimited bandwidth." If you're actually a frequent user of Pornhub, this makes perfect sense. And even if you don't use Pornhub (right, of course), it still works as another viable, free option to add to the list of VPN choices. There's a premium plan, too, featuring no ads, faster connection speeds, and more countries for logging in. That fancy version will run you $12.99/month or $90 ($7.50/month) for a 12-month subscription. It's an interesting move for Pornhub because, well, nothing about the VPN service requires you to watch porn. Sure, it's perfectly aimed at those who frequently visit the site over a shared internet connection in places like their homes or hotels (as opposed to, say, a Starbucks). But there's no reason you can't use it even if you don't care about adult-themed sites. I gave the beta version a whirl, and it certainly seemed to work a-okay for me, exactly like a VPN should. SEE ALSO: Do you need a VPN? Quite possibly. Here's why. Of course, protecting user privacy — and the user's data — is important business, and convincing users who may be skeptical of a service connected to a porn site to trust VPNhub may be a hurdle, whether it's warranted or not. In April, security issues with several popular VPNs made headlines as it was discovered they were leaking data due to Chrome. It's a good reason to maintain frequent checks on your VPN to make sure it stays up to snuff, no matter which service you use. | |

A few questions come to mind: -Use the free service, or the premium service. The free service, you don't have to give your legal name, address, other identifying data. I assume. They will have your IP address, and a record of your log-in, so I assume the government would be able to track you down, or keep a record of your activity, since that's what governments seem to do. -The premium service you have to pay for, so that means giving your legal name, and probably other data such as address, and-depending on how you pay for the service, your age, and a window into some of your financial records. How secure is this personal data? One of the articles states that Pornhub has been hacked in the past. So it will almost certainly be hacked in the future. So you are exposing yourself to having your legal name outed: by illegal hackers, by the government. So, do you use Pornhub VPN? For a flimsy-seeming privacy? And you can bet, dollars to doughnuts, that the Pornhub owners/operators will be using and selling your data to make as much money as they can. Anyone care to chime in on why they would join or use Pornhub VPN? | |
