Most people turn to a VPN for one reason: privacy. And with its verified badge, featured placement, and 100k+ installs, FreeVPN.One looked like a safe choice. But once it’s in your browser, it’s not working to keep you safe, it’s continuously watching you.
This is another one of the many reasons the online safety acts a lot of countries are bringing in are going to put so many people in danger. Adults can afford to pay for a VPN subscription, kids are going to download the free ones like this and fall victim to blackmail.
Don’t worry they’re just going to block VPNs too.
