A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a method of increasing privacy. With a VPN installed, enabled, and used Internet traffic travels through an encrypted tunnel thus limiting capture and analysis while in transit.
Choosing a VPN application from any of hundreds of VPN service providers can be a challenge. VPN offerings that are "free" will gain their revenue via ads and/or selling your traffic history and logs.
Sage advice is to use a VPN provider with a "NO LOG" policy and hosted in a country with some privacy policy.
This week 7 VPN providers with said "NO LOG" policies were found to not only capturing user's logs, but loosing control of those logs. Said logs were found on publicly accessible cloud servers.
The logs contained email addresses, clear text passwords, IP addresses, home addresses, billing addresses, phone models, device IDs, etc.
The VPN providers: UFO VPN, FAST VPN, Free VPN, Super VPN, Flash VPN, Secure VPN, and Rabbit VPN.
If you ever installed or used a VPN from any of the listed providers, be aware your private data was available on a public Internet cloud server this week (July 2020)
