I find any VPN company that pays influencers to talk about privacy, security and stolen credit cards suspicious from the get go. Especially when they do it on prevalent tech channels. And especially when they talk about the stolen credit cards. Selling people a false sense of security is something I dislike from the get go. They could list the potential uses without having to resort to that. I know that it’s just my paranoia but I tend to assume any Internet service I don’t have a direct control of is logging things and will give up those logs when asked. (We’ve already seen plenty of that). I’d feel less safe tunneling over some company’s network than not doing it at all. With that the use case I have for them is very limited. I prefer to route through my home network instead. That being said my ISP is not hostile to its users so I understand people who have one that is. I mostly just use Pi-Hole to drop bad traffic, Quad9’s filtered endpoint over DNSCrypt and Ubiquiti’s built in threat defense and honeypot and AdGuard on the client side for some basic security and privacy and employ some common sense when browsing the internet.
