In passing I would actually certainly like to say that Netgear made a poor choice with HMA. HMA most certainly do keep records of what you do and they will hand them over to any official body who requests them. You may think you are hidden using HMA but in fact you are not at all. There are good VPN's around but HMA is definitely not one of them.
I guess the use of a VPN is something like WTFast, otherwise why use a gaming router? And yes it is a little odd that Netgear didn't think of this ~ to include gaming in a gaming router... well I call them VPN's but gaming VPN's are not really VPN's rather advanced routing services I suppose. But whatever you call them, they should be in there.
