Agreed. However, Witopia has been around for years, and I've always had prompt, knowledgeable customer service from them. Given that ANY interaction between ANY two entities is theoretically subject to some form of evesdropping, I think Witopia is as reliable a VPN as there is. And at least when I'm using Witopia, I'm only allowing them to evesdrop on me.

Plus...it let's me get around the sites that are blocked at work by the IT dept.
