not all vpn providers do keep logs, as simple as that.
in europe, like some already pointed out, the consumer is protected a lot. that is especially true for online stuff of all sorts.
there are so many providers out there, like okayfreedom.com and such, which protect their users. it`s in their philosophy to do so and the law is behind them as well.

Be very careful who you do business with VPN provider wise

I got a year subscription with this VPN provider https://torrentprivacy.com/ and the VPN has went down for days now and I have months left on my subscription

Countless attempts with emails to “customer service” and no reply

Their forum is full of this even though research online shows great reviews for them

I have ruled out ISP blocking and isn’t not my firewall /router

The company is very happy to take your money and then never have anything to do with you again

Do be careful before subscribing to service provider like this and I HIGHLY do NOT recommend https://torrentprivacy.com/

If you choose a VPN, be careful to watch out two things :
Firstly, the level of privacy: the VPN allows you to increase your online privacy because nobody can be able to determine your identity. Although, there are various levels of security: it’s the encryption. When you use a VPN, your connection is encrypted with an encryption key, within a VPN protocol. For example, the OpenVPN protocol enables a longer encryption key as the PPTP. Besides this solution is also more expensive.
Secondly, the available VPN servers: aside from unblocking the US TV websites, the VPN has the potential to unblock all the others geo-blocked sites. This only depends on the available server location. Be careful to determine the locations that you need before to choose the service.
To sum up, use a comparison engine as start vpn for example.

Kind of… If it’s a stand-alone vpn appliance, the logs are kept till power is reset on the device. I know, because I have about 50 in the field across the US. once the power goes down.. all the logs are gone forever. I could also choose not to collect logs.
