Did you ever think that maybe all VPN services are actually secretly owned/funded by governments and that they are only giving you a false illusion of privacy?
No one is dumb enough to get scammed buying a bridge, but word is convective real estate is going to be the next hot investment. The buyers who get in early are going to pocket the most cash. Now's the time.
That's a good question. If you don't know and trust the VPN owner you should be careful... that's why a lot of folks who specifically use a VPN for security reasons and have very good reasons to need to do that often just self-host a private VPN/tunnel exit.
Also considering you don't know me (still waiting on that coffee you said we'd grab) you probably shouldn't trust any list I gave you anyways.
