The fact they advertise “10GB of free VPN protection every 30 days” seems like a red flag. Additionally, it's generally pretty true you get what you pay for, so their paid plans running $1/month also seems fishy. If you want a trusted free VPN, Proton is the smart choice. If you're willing to pay for the service, Proton, MullVad, or IVPN are the trusted options for privacy.
10gb is the free plan. Every 30 days.
Might as call it CIA Honeypot VPN.
Yep, and since nearly all free VPN's cover their cost by selling user data, it's a red flag.
