I recently signed up to astrill. This is a good VPN paid service. Can they see passwords I type into websites such as hotmail etc?|||The VPN tunnel you use with Astrill terminates at their servers and is then handed off to the Internet, unencrypted. At that point, whatever you send looks just like it would if you didn't use the tunnel. The only advantages of Astrill are anonymity, privacy in a public setting and the ability to skirt corporate firewall policies.
But some internet traffic is already encrypted anyway. The process of logging in to a web site like hotmail or your bank is encrypted. So Astrill can't see your password for those sites. Please note that hotmail only encrypts the login process. Reading your email is in the clear. Banking web sites and such encrypt the entire session.|||If it's not ssl encrypted on the web page they can see it.
And they are really a pretty mediocre service that pays a lot of affiliate $$ to promote them on various review sites.|||if their doing their job correctly they have the ability to see everything you do on your computers.
