Question VPN shadiness

vpn's are pretty cheap. no reason to rely on any of the free ones out there. they all sell you in some fashion or another. most likely more than one way if they can.

but this is def the first time i've heard of this type of money maker for them. you get what you pay for, so keep looking for that "free" that doesn't involve abusing you in some way. i'm sure it's out there......
 
And even if they promise "not to sell" that does not mean that they will not "trade" your information to someone who will sell it.

I will leave it to the lawyers to debate about the finer points of any and all EUA's etc. that may be involved.
