قادر به ردیابی کاربران شبکه اختصاصی مجازی چه هستند?

1. Probably two main ways:

   – Just using a VPN doesn’t mean you’re anonymous/safe. Connect to a site through a VPN and order drugs using your real name and address, you’re not safe (to make a silly extreme example).

   – Any VPN could set up a future trap in response to a warrant. Police go to VPN company with a court order saying “log any future connections to terrorist site at IP address N”. VPN turns on logging that records only connections to that IP, and a week later one of their users connects to it, and they report user’s originating IP to the police.

2. Saying a VPN hides criminal activity is part of the propaganda spread by law enforcement in order to justify their intrusion into our lives (asking for encryption keys, logs..etc).

3. stupid criminals – you seem to assume they all know how to use vpn’s and how to deploy them properly.
   fact is even vpn’s who keep logs may be outside the legal jurisdiction of local law enforcement agencies.
   about a dozen countries with political “pirate parties” have made laws shielding vpn’s from foreign inquiry.
   vpn’s that keep logs may do so on a rotation, so by the time law requests the logs, they’ve rolled over.
   for example my vpn keeps session logs (ip, login/out, gb consumed) but only retains them for a week.
   besides… if you were a criminal, you’d use 2-3 forms of anonymizing, and not depend on a vpn alone,
   not because vpn’s aren’t protecting you, simply because you’d avoid a single point of potential failure.
   smart people don’t just have gun safes, they keep the safe install hidden and use trigger locks as well.

4. Google something like “porn arrest peer-to-peer” and you’ll see that there is no shortage of criminals using their raw IP. With the exception of things like Tor, the police simply don’t waste their time or energy tracking down VPN IPs. Way too much low-hanging fruit to go after instead.

5. Because they usually do something that can be traced to them regardless of the VPN usage. If you do something illicit on a VPN but don’t use separate accounts solely for the VPN, you can be traced that way. For example using an account on a website/forum without the VPN and using it with the VPN can expose you. The website will have the VPN IP but also your real one. They may also use the same account name on a website that they use with the VPN on a website without the VPN with identifiable info, so that defeats the purpose of the VPN. They may also use the same browser that they use without the VPN, and so their browser will have the same fingerprint which also defeats the purpose of the VPN. If you want real privacy on a VPN, you need to use a separate browser and you need to fake some stuff on there, like the header, which is the info you send to websites, like the screen size, OS, what browser youre using, your extensions, and stuff like that.

   Also not all “no log” vpns can be trusted. There’s been a few cases of no log VPNs actually keeping logs, or at least keeping them long enough that a warrant will catch up before they delete logs (some providers keep logs for like 90 days for example) and they get caught that way.

6. VPN alone won’t make you completely untraceable. You can still be tracked because you left several details that makes you stand out, not to mention browser fingerprinting and other metadata that can be analyzed. It’s all detective work, no magic there.

7. Several ways actually. Just because your IP address is hidden does not mean you can’t be tracked. Social engineering is a prime example. Think of it kind of like a unknown, hidden serial killer. You may be wise and forensically cover your tracks, but it doesn’t stop analysts from building a profile of you. In the web, you’re constantly leaving small breadcrumbs about your identity in the way you type, sentence structure, punctuation, what you like to comment on, etc. Of course there’s also the misfortune of running into certain types of malware that can collect information on you. Cookies is something else a VPN can’t really stop either. Several, several ways to be traced and/or profiled on the internet now days.

8. Quite many if not the majority of providers cooperate with local authorities if contacted. More transparent providers say so in their privacy policies. This might be contradictory to “no logs” claim since the government agency can ask them to turn on logging for specific users.

   Generally, a VPN won’t guarantee anonymity in illegal activities beyond p2p pirating.

9. VPN logs are not the only way to link activity to an identity.

   How you behave online is just as unique as how you behave in the real world. Over time patterns begin to form. You can also be identified if you do not use a secure OS. Authorities can place malware on your machine which can compromise your identity. Failing to sign out of you anonymizing VPN before conducting personal business online.

   there are many ways you can be identified. Far too many to get into.

10. No logs doesn’t mean no real-time tracking, if the VPN is located in a 14 eyes country the police can request to track all requests containing a certain thing or going to a certain IP, and if the VPN is in a 5 eyes country they probably keep logs even though they say they don’t, because the NSA doesn’t care about their own laws. Someone can also be tracked across IPs with a cookie.

11. Because vpn services are government funded and controlled.

12. Just a logic thinking to share.

    From news, you still can see government agency able to arrest hackers. Hackers are very smart compare to normal users like us, they probably use VM, double VPN, chain proxy, shadow socks even other methods that we don’t even know. But still , they are under arrest.

    I guess it depends on how serious is your criminal and how much money and time they want to spend/invest to arrest you.

    Technically, I don’t know how, just 2 cents.
