Again if you reread my posts you'll notice that at no time do I state that I use a VPN for file sharing in fact I make a point of saying that my file sharing activities are done via a UK VPS and that everything on there is 'legal'. Do you honestly think I would be stupid enough to use a server paid for with my credit card for illegal activities. And before you mention I may have set the server up to use a VPN service I will point out I have already mentioned my knowledge of Linux is not very good and though I'm guessing it could be done I really would not know where to start and now I've got it working the way I want wouldn't want to mess it up.
My reason for setting up a VPN server and messing with VPN in the first place, even though it is none of your business is for relatives and friends in the states to by pass UK geo-location locking. Again if you reread my posts you'll also notice I mention having a free month of the American Netflix service and that I mention using StrongVPN because without it you are not able to view it.
Honestly, if you think a VPN service can only be used for 'illegal' activities maybe you shouldn't be a moderator on an internet based forum.
As to the comment. That's the wonderful thing about forums when it suits you can use the interpretation excuse. Well a couple of people I've pointed it out have not taken your interpretation of it. I think it's the (e.g. _wtf_) that gives it that slight edge, don't you think?
