sounds like the old hola vpn business model where free users served as residential proxy endpoints for paying customers. a couple ended up with criminal investigations after someone used it to download cp through their computer. the details about how it works were buried in a faq, they got sued and switched to working with a company called "bright data" that runs a botnet for web scraping.
