Of course you shouldn't use a free VPN for anything sensitive, but to obscure your browsing data (like what you search for or what media you consume) it's completely fine.
- bluehazed 10y agoNo, it's really not. Free VPNs aren't free for the sake of it; as the old adage goes "if you're not the customer you're the product".
- btrask 10y agoEven if you're paying you're still an additional revenue stream, as this article about paid ISPs demonstrates.
- JumpCrisscross 10y ago> to obscure your browsing data...it's completely fine You prefer taking your logs away from the potentially-prying eyes of regulated ISPs and giving them to an unknown, unregulated person? Free VPNs are a medicine that's--at best--only as bad as the malady.
- icebraining 10y agoThe argument applies just as well to paid VPNs, though.
