Never ever ever never ever use a free #VPN (except Proton VPN, but it will be slower if you don’t pay) or a VPN from some unknown company. Pay some money!!, or you WILL get scammed and robbed.
"FreeVPN.One, a Chrome extension with over 100,000 installs and a verified badge on the Chrome Web Store, is exposed by researchers for taking screenshots of users’ screens and exfiltrating them to remote servers.
… it has been capturing full-page screenshots … logging sensitive visual data like personal messages, financial dashboards, and private photos, and uploading it to aitd[.]one, a domain registered by the extension’s developer."

Paying money doesnt solve the problem either, you’ll just get robbed twice.
@[email protected] thankfully there wasn’t a country recently that required it’s citizens to feel the need to switch to using a VPN in a demographic that tends to not have access to a credit card and would automatically move to the ‘free’ vpns…

Exactly. As usual, the lawmakers worsen it. While trying to keep children safe, they are forcing them to use shady VPN services, which expose them to worse harm. Never changes.But keeping children safe is not really their goal. It’s a lie that the gullible will accept and support.
@[email protected] We don’t need to go to Proton, there are more safe VPSs around, you just have to check.
