<div>How do you figure that? A US company (especially one
who is only providing VPN services, so is not an ISP) is
not subject to data retention..?<br>

Are you sure about that?<br>
I'm not convinced the nationality of the company is relevent. A US
company that provides a VPN service (a relevent service) from
infrastructure it owns or operates physically located in Australia,
would be subject to data retention requirements for that server in
Australia <b>and arguably every other server on the globe that
provides the VPN service.<br>
<br>
</b>Look for those listed VPN services that quickly come to mind to
silently drop their nodes in Australia, if they haven't already.<b><br>
