Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

In August 2007 a hacker found a way to expose the PHP source code on facebook.com. He retrieved two files and then emailed them to me, and I wrote about the issue:

http://techcrunch.com/2007/08/11/facebook-source-code-leaked/

It became a big deal:

The two files are index.php (the homepage) and search.php (the search page)

#Laravel 5 Simple ACL manager

Protect your routes with user roles. Simply add a 'role_id' to the User model, install the roles table and seed if you need some example roles to get going.

If the user has a 'Root' role, then they can perform any actions.

Installation

Simply copy the files across into the appropriate directories, and register the middleware in App\Http\Kernel.php
