No logging VPN service

 We often hear about log-free access in many VPN service providers, but we can only trust the service provider’s policy. Is it possible to find the answer from the clues from the user’s point of view?

The answer is yes: yes, then how to find the details, please keep reading.

What is a no-logging VPN service?

 When you connect to a VPN server, your traffic will be hidden from the influence and intrusion of the network service provider, and no one will be able to spy on your activities, but the VPN provider is different, because all your All traffic passes through this server, and it is your responsibility to confirm that there are no user logs recorded. Free VPNs are common, because most of the revenue sources come from here, and paid providers do not collect or log any traffic and records. Logs, of course, do not rule out that some providers will record secretly, so it is the responsibility of consumers to question the logging policy of any VPN provider.

How does a no-logging policy protect everyone?

 I believe that everyone will consider the log policy before purchasing a VPN. We should set standards for these policies to protect your privacy.

The explanation is that there is no policy record, that is, no logs will be recorded to protect your security. What is the role? Just think about it, if the places you have been have been recorded by others, where you have been today, what you have done, you can see at a glance, security and privacy will instead become evidence of betrayal of you. When there is no log, it means that you have visited Where have you been? No one will know what I said, because there is no log recorded at all. It is common for some suppliers to be audited by an accounting firm, but if the logging is technically related, does the accounting firm have the relevant capabilities? To confirm such a complex system? Are thousands of systems all no logs? Rather than guessing here, try to find out on your own.

What types of web logs are there?

• Private daily browsing
• IP address
• Connection date and length of time
• Data transfer volume
• VPN server
• Usage record
• Websites visited
• Downloaded file
• Software used

How can I confirm that there is no VPN logging?

 I believe that everyone is very concerned about how to confirm. Due to the more technical topics mentioned here, please correct them by yourself.

Therefore, ProsfinityVPN currently only provides the OPENVPN protocol, and it is not ruled out that other protocols, such as WireGuard, will be added in the future.

So for the time being, let’s talk about how to record logs for OPENVPN.

 Any VPN protocol requires a client and a server to talk to each other, so there are also settings for log records on both sides. The log record settings are composed of Verb 0-11, and different numbers represent the meaning of storing logs.

0 is the minimum and 11 is the maximum. If the Verb provided by the supplier is 3 – 4, basically there are only ordinary logs used to help you solve connection problems, but if it goes to 6 or above, it means that the logs are recorded. The log is very detailed and clear,

Everyone should pay attention to one thing, if Verb is 3, it will leave the real IP address of the access service, that is to say, if any address has come to this server, then you may think, is it very dangerous? ?

Not necessarily, keep in mind that in addition to the logs recorded to help you with daily connection problems, the provider should not keep these logs for more than a certain number of days to ensure the privacy and security of all users, such as periodic deletion all logs,

Includes daily logs to help users troubleshoot.

So here, we strongly recommend ProsfinityVPN as your service provider, because they will not record any logs for more than 7 days, conduct regular security scans to ensure that each server is not hacked, and it is important to record logs to help users solve problems ,

But at the same time, more emphasis should be placed on deleting logs! Even if there is an unfortunate internal hacker intrusion, they will not get any valuable logs because they no longer exist, but one thing must be clearly distinguished, that is, the use log and the entry log are two different things.

Most of the very well-known service providers advertise that they will not log usage records, but entering records is another matter, please refer to Verb’s explanation mentioned above.
