Interesting read and cetainly is a major issue in life at this point in time and I cant see it decreasing any time soon.
While I agree that this is an issue with VPNs and I have certainly had to search and check thoroughly to find a VPN which works for me but I do feel as if you missed out on some other issues that they are raising, such as how some are claiming to be a full free VPNs like Opera VPN when in truth they are infact just proxies which are not nearly as secure as OpenVPN and the missbranding can really hurt peoples privacy, especially when they are unaware of such missbranding.
Painfully sorry for the late reply. I totally agree with you. The issue that I have raised is only one of several that are gradually eroding away the trust of customers. Many free VPNs are proxies and branded falsely. In fact, many free VPNs have also been caught selling our bandwidth and monetizing our private information. I didn't raise these particular issues because there are already some great articles on the issue. I felt that ambiguous logging policies is a problem that needed more attention, so I put more emphasis on this problem.

100% agreed, a new issue I have seen becoming more and more prevelant over the last few months are missleading VPN adverts. So many false or missleading statements, for instance saying they use military grade encryption, true but "so what" HTTPS is the same grade.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
