Tl;dw: Most (not all) vpn companies come from ad brokers that spy on you. If you see a vpn being sponsorized by streamers with discount codes: they are selling your data.

Mullvad and proton are safe to use.

    Well that was a predictable outcome of commercial vpns. The "protect your data from isps" line never really answered the "what about the VPN provider" question.

    Wasn't there some recent BS w/ Proton, though? (It's been a rough week, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't a fever dream? ...Pretty sure.)
