It is refreshing to know that other people are able to see the real purpose behind the legislation. Everyone should care about their personal privacy.
The "bad guys" will not be using commercial VPN services. Their concerns are different to ours and in some ways it does not matter that much if they are caught in a surveillance dragnet. From an operational security point-of-view they know that is a risk and would be taking steps to minimise their risk.
I wanted to point out the biggest weakness in the two providers you are considering.
TunnelBearWhilst on the surface it might appear attractive, TunnelBear is a Canadian company. Canada is a member of the
Five Eyes intelligence alliance. Assume all your information will be shared routinely with the UK.
As for KeepSolid, the situation is even worse. They are an American company. The USA has virtually no privacy laws whatsoever. Combine that with far-reaching state-actor surveillance and the documented intelligence sharing, cooperation and stooging between the UK and USA and you should already be running far, far away by now.
Have a look at the Wikipedia entry for
Internet censorship and surveillance by country. The section on
Current Enemies of the Internet makes particularly interesting reading. I would not consider that this represents a complete view of the current facts. Exercise caution.
Consider also the possibility that some VPN providers may be complicit in sharing information with intelligence agencies, possibly outside their own borders, or may even be front organisations of the same.
This is not an easy problem to solve.
