It sounds really secure but I would not be happy to rely on what VPN sites say about anonymity.
A quick search revealed this from the 'golden frog' site, for example:
If a VPN provider kept absolutely no logs, they wouldn’t be able to:
- Offer plans with limits on GB usage or per user basis
- Limit VPN connections to 1, 3 or 5 on a per user basis
- Troubleshoot your connection or offer support for server-side problems
- Handle your DNS requests when using the VPN service. They might rely on a 3rd Party DNS provider that logs DNS requests
- Prevent abuse, such as spammers, port scanners and DDOS to protect their VPN service and their users.
Given the expertise we are witnessing of what hackers are actually capable of these days, I would not be at all confident that a future clamp down would not affect me if I used an illegal site to gain access to content that I should not be able to see. Sooner or later, the powers that be will catch up, and the huge amount of money being lost to content providers will be the driver to achieving this.
