There is no risk from building a VPN system that is unable to keep logs, as its not a requirement in the U.S. They only requirement is to hand over anything you have after a court-order.

Yes but thing is you can't trust them. NSA would pay millions to popular vpns just for a backdoor or to make them keep logs. The risk is risk, it's better just to avoid it.

This thread is very interesting.
Over the past years I have thought a billion of times to checks whats in there but never actually did. The last time was a couple of days.
I have heard many bad things all those mentioned above.
If you are using it use tor over a VPN(Paid).
If you are not using a vpn and are doing some illegal stuff you can still be traced as you ISP will be able to see who is using tor .

You should be aware that the "Deep Web" is constructed of multiple layers - some even require hardware to be accessed.
What you see on TOR is just scratching the surface.

I only used it a little bit. Basically it was just for fun and to see what's really available there. From hitmen to fake passports and even buying AK-47, there's ton of interesting stuff.

It's more than just the 14 Eyes
"Today, we have 63 legal attaché offices—commonly known as legats—and more than two dozen smaller sub-offices in key cities around the globe, providing coverage for more than 180 countries, territories, and islands. Each office is established through mutual agreement with the host country and is situated in the U.S. embassy or consulate in that nation."

Yes except it's different if your provider is based in Switzerland and if it's based in US. I'm just saying it's better to stay away from those countries if you are interested in your privacy as you won't get it there.

Anything that will bring the attention of the NSA to you is also bringing the attention of every other intelligence agency in the world. If you are not doing something that the NSA cares about your privacy is safe.

FBI is really not our concern. They are nothing. Basically what VPN does i protecting you from ISP knowing that you are connected to a Tor.
If you don't do some serious shit online you won't be interesting to a big agencies. But if you do, they will track you to your VPN provider. And they will find out your ip only if your vpn have saved it, else there is no other way. But several providers already proved that they keep no such a logs. So yes, fbi is all over the world but they still have to obey privacy laws of each of those countries. And we can agree on that for example Panama or Switzerland have some good laws.

The Intel and Law Enforcement agencies(even ones from countries that aren't friendly to each other) will still share information between themselves. The privacy laws of Panama and Switzerland are not going to stop the police and intel agencies of those countries from investigating and sharing information on criminal activity.
PIA VPN has proven twice that they do not keep logs.

This my friends is why you do not use a vpn with Tor.... This is why you use tails with a burner laptop and a popular public open wifi connection.

Very interesting discussion going on here, I have also heard a lot of creepy stuff about dark web but never got the courage to actually surf those pages.
Never heard of any good things about it, so didn't bother much.

I have been in social networks of dark web. Some of them stopped working while I was active. There are several good and bad groups with a clear purpose. I have learned short codes for weird porn, violence related stuff. Some sites are only accessible through windows (Not OS but temporary links that route traffic to some deeper levels for a few hours). Most crazy things people talk about exist on surface of darkweb and you don't need to dig any further for them. I have visited market places that sell illegal stuff and forums that discuss about deeper levels. Once you make friends with a few people, you can find additional info. But most senior members stay away from newbies thinking if they are FBI. I finally got tired of it and never accessed it again.
