Ofc they do, ISP can't sniff your traffic, and you can't be MITM'd in a targeted-individual way even when browsing http (without tls), unless the hacking is coordinated with VPN provider itself.

    There are a lot of free VPNs with developers from China, mostly with a subsidiary in Singapore or Hongkong. I wouldn't like funneling my data to CCP but most people wouldn't even notice.

    But at the end of the day, it depends who you're hiding from. All those 2FA SMS codes don't generate themselves. That is if you have 2FA, if not you're already part of their botnet.

    Someone else being a dumbass doesn't make my informed VPN decision worse.
