[QUOTE="Eggnog, post: 932749, member: 71010"] Looks like they may have found a way to monetize their free product. True. I do remember, though, that PIA won two court cases in 2016 and, I think, 2018 where they did not have to give up any logs because they didn't have any, and they are not obligated to have any. And they're based in the U.S. That whole "we're not in the Five Eyes" thing is a marketing ploy that mostly plays on paranoid fears. If you don't keep logs, you have nothing to turn over. I would say most reputable VPNs don't keep logs; it's not in their business interests to do so. We have no idea what's in the best interests of free VPNS. I can't say whether free VPNs even offer split tunneling or wireguard. You roll the dice with free VPNs. [/QUOTE]
