Hi Theo,

Painfully sorry for the late reply. I totally agree with you. The issue that I have raised is only one of several that are gradually eroding away the trust of customers. Many free VPNs are proxies and branded falsely. In fact, many free VPNs have also been caught selling our bandwidth and monetizing our private information. I didn't raise these particular issues because there are already some great articles on the issue. I felt that ambiguous logging policies is a problem that needed more attention, so I put more emphasis on this problem.

100% agreed, a new issue I have seen becoming more and more prevelant over the last few months are missleading VPN adverts. So many false or missleading statements, for instance saying they use military grade encryption, true but "so what" HTTPS is the same grade.
