Yeah, while it is true, lots of VPN companies are grifts just buying VPS's and installing OpenVPN, this "Cyber security expert" puts far too much faith in HTTPS and probably never seen a lecture from the Black Hat conference

Not defending Robert Graham because I'm also eyebrow raising his statement. And while you may be 100% correct that he never actually stayed to listen to a lecture, he absolutely spoke at a lot of them since 2000.

Many VPNs using OpenVPN is...fine.

The value adding is the VPN infrastructure they're providing. You can't just install the standard OpenVPN client and expect it to DO anything without some kind of service.

True on the HTTPS thing.
