Hello,
Is Freedome VPN by F - Secure safe VPN without logs? Because reviews are very diference. And my next question: is their service own or cooperation with third part like Kaspersky VPN is PIA or BullGuard VPN is NordVPN. Thanks.

  • Time of connection
  • Country code
  • Duration of VPN connection
  • Amount of data transfered
  • Device ID generated by Freedome
  • IP address
  • Host name
  • Traffic anomalies (abuse of service)
These are logged for 90 days, after which they are deleted.

If you enable Tracker Mapper (don't bother; it only works for unencrypted connections), your traffic is logged for 24 hours and will be deleted automatically after 3 days once start a new log or delete the log yourself.

If Security Cloud is enabled, software and traffic that is identified as malicious/potentially malicious is sent to F-Secure for analysis. This data is anonymized and kept separate from your Freedome data. It'll be destroyed when no longer needed.

Their service is their own.

Better to use mullvad or something similar with no logs policy.

So from my reading, what they log is what IP you use to connect to their VPN in order to be able to investigate fraud/abuse and such logs are stored for 90 days. Other than that, they only log additional info if you turn on additional features. They do not log what you visit.
Note that your ISP also can see the fact that your device is connecting to a FreeDOME VPN endpoint....

Overall this seems okay for my VPN use cases but it all depends on what your concerns are.

Almost all VPN services using logs, doesn't matter what said by vendors, all want to earn money and never telling always the truth!
At least your ISP has money when there is a lawsuit for compromising users data. These VPNs will just disappear.
