Can you trust your VPN?

A comprehensive checklist:

• Is your VPN completely free?

• Has your VPN a referral program with discount codes and money if a friend joins?

• Is your VPN sponsorized by big streamers?

The more “yes” you find in that list, the less you should trust your VPN.

• Is your VPN audited?

• Can you access those audits?

• Can you pay in anonymous currencies (cash or crypto)?

• Can you track them to their real parent company?

The more “no” you find in that list, the less you should trust your VPN.

If your VPN has checks all the wrong answers, you should dump it ASAP (if you are worried about privacy).
