Users who want to keep their private business private when online often turn to VPN (virtual private network) providers. It’s a sensible precaution, and when you search for terms related to online privacy, it’s SEO-optimised, VPNpromoting articles that occupy the first few pages of results, because VPN companies pay out up to 60% for sales through affiliate links. Want your online tech publication to flourish? VPNs are where the cash is.
VPNs can hide your location and your activities, but you need to pay for the privilege and create an account – and you can never be truly certain that the company that takes your money isn’t straight up selling your details to data brokers, handing it over to the police or, worse, to Disney copyright lawyers. Everybody loves getting paid twice, right?
