Urban VPN is a particularly bad offender. It intercepts all your conversations with ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI bots (glad I don't use any), and sends them to the VPN vendor for resale. This is nuts.

If a security researcher is installing on their browser a free vpn browser extension, I assume they are a moron and can't do their job.

Seriously, not only your first question should be "how are these people paying for 6 millions people using their VPN?", but your second one should be " why they don't provide a client of a wireguard/ipsec/openvpn configuration file? So they don't have access to my webpages?"

When an article relies on a clearly bs premise (like a security researcher using a free vpn), you should assume the article is fake. Which it is, in this case: https://piefed.social/post/1573197#comment_9269001
