You're still transferring data somewhere, the only difference being that part of your data is encrypted between the two VPN endpoints (being, Anonymizer and your house). Any data you transfer that is normally unencrypted (ie. not behind SSL or whatever else), will still be unencrypted and readable by Anonymizer. Any data you transfer that is encrypted has to go through their servers, so it gives them a chance to intercept it, decrypt it, and read it.<br><br>What I'm getting at is this: do you trust this company?
