A vpn claiming not to keep records identifies a user to justice

Most VPNs do not keep logs, so user browsing remains anonymous at all times. This means that they could not be identified or located in the event of a judicial process. This is why they are so popular. But a VPN that claimed not to keep user records has been a key part of a process in America, where they have helped police identify a user.

In this way, the suspect's IP could be obtained. At those times he used IPVanish, which claims not to save or share user data. But the company offered the American justice confirmation of that IP. So they were able to arrest the suspect.

The situation was most confusing. Because they initially stated that they had no user information, but in a second interview, they provided a large amount of information. Since his real name, email address and many other details with which the user had subscribed to IPVanish were provided. With this information, Comcast (Internet provider) was contacted, who revealed the user's name and address in Indiana.

In this way, the suspect could be arrested and confessed to having shared child abuse material online. This case took place in 2016, although this information has now been revealed. IPVanish is in the hands of another company today.

After revealing this, many users have been concerned about the privacy and security of this VPN. The company has stated that they never keep or will keep user records. But after this case, many have their doubts about the operation of this VPN.
