Fourteen Eyes Countries and why you should avoid them

We recommend staying away from vpn providers based in one of the fourteen eyes countries. The reason is that the government of these countries may be granted complete access to the vpn providers company and could get used as a tool of mass surveillance. Meanwhile the provider is restricted to let anyone know of this happening.

An example of this is Lavabit – an open source encrypted webmail service. Lavabit shut down its service on August, 8, 2013 only leaving a message from the owner Ladar Levison. It was suggested that the suspension might be related to the US National Security Agency’s "domestic-surveillance practices" Levison explained he was under gag order and that he was legally unable to explain to the public why he ended the service.Instead, he asked for donations to "fight for the Constitution" in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. He also said later that he could be arrested for closing the site instead of releasing the information.
Ultimately, Levison turned over the SSL keys and shut down the service at the same time.

By staying away from vpn providers of these countries you set your privacy even one step higher.
