I have had a day to think about it, and reaslise the situation, you are probably innocent and don't recognise the seriousness, probably you are a young lad, and your peers are also using them.
Well, remember, if you go to a sales department in an armament factory during the war, they will equally give you a good shopping list, as it is their product. Or a factory that buiulds tanks, or dangerous chemicals. The fact is young kids today on the internet have no idea of the terms they are using.
A private network was used by agents, FBI agents etc, during top secret military exercises. The arpanet was built upon it in the late 60's. BE careful what you click on, what you read, what your friends are doing, it is not a competition.
If a police officer involved with cybernet investigations required a particuilar product, HE would have to go to the best there is, i.e. Norton, and Norton TOO, caters for these requirements, IF IT BE NECESSARY, and they have prices for those servics, e.g. a knight goes in for new shining armour, if IT BE NECESSARY, instead of a suit, if this be the case, the special medieval tailor can proivide armour shields etc, but this is very rare circumstances.
A Virtual proivate network is one of those special occasioins. Normal people OBEY the law, so it doesn';t matter WHAT sites they go on, as they are law abiding sites, and it doesn't matter if the telephone company knows the sites. BT is not a service provider, as people keep saying, t hey ARE the telephone company, real copper or fibre optic wires, therefore REALLY providing the electronic signals down the wires. A service provider RENTS from a telephone company, i.e. BT, in our country. I am not a telephone engineer but I know enough to know that these rented lines can have several service providers all on different tarrifs, using various frequency bandwidths, therefore if you are using a priovate network you are interfering with te functionality of other service providers, not to mention interfering with other people's security.
When I first saw the comments about norton, and kept seeing vpn at first I didn't recognise what it stood for, and so I couldn't understand why you couldn't get it working and had a drop in speed. Now I know why. I first went on internet in computer job in 93 it had about 20 sites, was text only, amd I did first electronic mail and text messages at uni in 89 on orange text orion 2's. And I can tell you,nothing was ever a private network, only top secret people had that kind of thing. And I have used internet in all those years since then. Only RECENTLY have I been hearing about kids using these vpn things, usually for torrent downloading of copyright films, or music. The police are cracking down on it.It is not fair on music and film industry, would you like your films and music copied for FREE? after all your work?
Everyone else is happy with bt's product, I am really grateful, especially with it being Norton, I feel safe.And it is totally free. I don't know what all the people are complaining about,m I have been reading all the messages, Norton 360 what?,what the heck are you on about? we're not into radar jamming, we're normal folk.
