Virtual Private Networks or VPNs are easy security and privacy tools that route your Internet traffic through a distant connection, protecting your browsing, hiding your location data and accessing restricted resources. VPN services are frequently targeted by police and law enforcement while investigating crimes.

The company was back up and running the following day after I3D provided two replacement servers, meaning that the seizures did not result in any significant outage.
