I only use free VPN extensions or apps and I fully aware of the limitation of this. I use shabby ones, which don’t protect and probably sell my data. It slow and I can’t have only a few location. But I can’t get around the idea that people can pay for a service to refuse to pay to a service. Please help me understand.
It’s not a service that allows me to pirate, it’s a service that allows me to be more private. The torrenting is a side-effect.
Your only moving the trust from your ISP to the VPN provider
That’s not true. My VPN provider effectively masks my IP address and location from websites I visit regardless or whether or not I trust them. And on top of that, I’ll take a VPN provider that encrypts my traffic and claims not to keep logs and hasn’t been proven to lie over an ISP that actively monitors my traffic any day of the week.
how is that not moving the trust to the VPN provider over your ISP?
