Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
VPN users..
Paying someone to sell your browsing habits, vs. having it taken for free! lol..
Uh-huh.. you keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel "secure"..I use Express VPN. They're outside the US, and keep no logs or activity data. Proton VPN is another good choice, and they also offer an encrypted email service.
Yeah, might want to research that a little deeper. All these companies stating "no logs" aren't being completely honest. Every read their terms of service? They can boot you for doing things they don't approve of. How would they be able to know that you are doing something they don't approve of if there are no logs? Dig deeper, the info on logs is out there.I use Express VPN. They're outside the US, and keep no logs or activity data.

Just stop pretending there's a company out there that protects you and act accordingly. Assume everything you do online is captured. Like elf said, they don't know your password, but that's a poor argument anyway because the password cracking software out there can brute force that pretty easily if someone wanted it, but just be aware that everywhere you visit, that is known information by someone.Egggh. So what to do?
BullshitLook. I'll put it in plain english for the non-technical.
EVERY "VPN" service tracks your browsing activity and sells that info.
It may not be the NSA but your browsing activity is being used for profit.
Not talking about passwords and account numbers and posts on web sites like this. That is secured by SSL from your local browser to the end site. You don't need a VPN to protect that - it cannot be "stolen" despite what the VPN crooks tell you.
What they are selling is your "habits", which is worth a lot to marketing organizations. Where do you go, what links to other sites do you follow.
Even your local ISP sells that info to Facebook, Netflix, Google, Amazon, etc. If you use a paid VPN, you're just paying someone to capture that same info, and sell it to the same buyers.
Stolen passwords result from hacking outdated software, like certain discussion forums that haven't applied security updates and don't store them in a secure format. It is technically impossible to steal a password from a web transaction between a browser on a patched computer, and a secure web site, like your bank.

Good point! A use case I overlooked as I've never needed it. Want to stream content unavailable in your geography, a VPN would be handy.With that said, depending on how you pay for your VPN and/or which service you use, some value being anonymous to the sites/services they use more vs the trade off of their VPN selling that data of an anonymous user.
This is my main use of it.Good point! A use case I overlooked as I've never needed it. Want to stream content unavailable in your geography, a VPN would be handy.
My mom (in the UK) and I (US) both have Netflix, yet there are things I've recommended that are not available to her, and vice versa.
Doesn't work so well when the nodes you are using are government honeypots.
