Be careful with free vpns!

[CrimeAndSolution 1]

Hi, just thought I should share this:

Apparently, a lot of free VPNs that are out there either collect data for the Chinese government, or do not feel obliged to keep it safe at all, so they can sell it/ use it for other purposes. I've never used free vpns, but if you do, I suggest doing some digging, because you might be exposed to some real risks, especially if you live in less free countries.

Yeah! Free VPN's are pathetic. They may expose you to things you were otherwise safe from. Only recently a popular VPN SuperVPN got dragged into this. Always go with a paid VPN or no VPN is what I think.

ProtonVPN would be the only service i'd consider using the free option with.
