Second level ISP is a type of anonymous internet access providers which gives a secure and anonymous internet access using two main technologies: Virtual Private Networks (VPN) and SSH tunnel or port forwarding.

Since most ISPS now log all incoming and outgoing data including upload and downloads, email and files transferred and even passwords, some deemed it as violating the right to privacy. Some of the personal privacy reasons are: to access anonymously financial institutions and online casinos, to bypass any kind of internet censorship and to anonymize internet activities. Meanwhile, business reasons are: to have an all-in-one secure remote access to the company’s computers, protect employees while on travel and protect the company from government intrusions or competitors.
