I'm a writer working in the area of vote security and have been coming up with some out of the box solutions to the problem of the stolen vote.See www.howtorescueamerica.com for a couple of them. About four years ago I began to notice some rather strange things assocciated with my internet connection. I operate wireless because I live on a boat that is anchored in a bay in the western part of the US. It is anchored only a mile or so away from a military complex. I assumed from the beginning that what I do was being monitored and frankly= , niaively didn't mind. You see I thought government had an overriding interest and that it was reasonable for me to put up with such an intrusion for the sake of the security of this country. The 'strange things' I noticed began the very day I went to post an email t= o various politco-literary websites asking if they would publish an article that was eventually published by centrexnews, an on-line experiment of the Washington Post. The article was called How To Save America and was very well received. After that I began to post other rather "creative" solutions to the problem= s we're facing and just when I'd go to post them, my troubles with my interne= t connection would begin again. I mean disconnects, switching to other SSIDs and undelivered email. I can only guess at the source of my troubles, but it seems unlikely anyone would tip their hand by interfering with someone excercising their first amendment rights in what must be a highly monitored area such as mine. Therefore, I've begun to suspect some government agency or over sealous individual within an agency of interfering with the normal process of democracy. Is this what it all is going to come too? We give government lattitude to monitor only to have significant communications interfered with. That is wh= y I'm writing you today. I'd like to get a VPN. I tried the big VPN service whose name I won't mention. It seemed OK, but for some reason decided to go with another service in Canada called Findnot. God, talk about a time. From the beginning, everytime I'd get on with Findnot my connection would be knocked around. Finally I gave up trying and began to wonder why the same thing hadn't happened with the other service. So, I guess my question is; can anyone recommend a VPN service that I can rely on, and maybe more important, how do you know if it is truly reliable?
