I only use free VPN extensions or apps and I fully aware of the limitation of this. I use shabby ones, which don’t protect and probably sell my data. It slow and I can’t have only a few location. But I can’t get around the idea that people can pay for a service to refuse to pay to a service. Please help me understand.

    It’s not a service that allows me to pirate, it’s a service that allows me to be more private. The torrenting is a side-effect.

        That’s not true. My VPN provider effectively masks my IP address and location from websites I visit regardless or whether or not I trust them. And on top of that, I’ll take a VPN provider that encrypts my traffic and claims not to keep logs and hasn’t been proven to lie over an ISP that actively monitors my traffic any day of the week.
