I owned a small VPN provider. We never did or considered doing that. So your statement is definitely false. But I also doubt that it's even approximately correct. Even assuming the worst of most VPN providers, I'd be very, very surprised if that could be a viable business model. Your DNS data isn't even remotely valuable enough to justify user acquisition and bandwidth/servers cost.
- VonGuard 4y agoOpenDNS built a business around this model: use our DNS servers and we sell the DNS hits to third parties looking to track traffic. I worked at a company that bought this data and resold it. Maybe the little VPN providers don't do this, but the big ones certainly do.
