Hey everyone!

I’m considering using Privado VPN and would love to hear your thoughts on its privacy features.

Here’s what I’ve gathered so far:

However, there are a few concerns:

I’d appreciate any insights or personal experiences you can share about Privado VPN’s privacy features. Is it as secure as it claims? Have you encountered any issues?

Thanks in advance for your help! :)

Is it as secure as it claims?

Without a third party audit, we’ll never know.

I don’t know it, my first question would be: who really owns it?
Then, I would immediately be suspicious of a deal promising me a 90% discount… But that’s just me.

You get what you pay for. If you are actually concerned about your privacy, then go with Mullvad. If you just want to download stuff for free without getting caught, then Privado is probably fine.

The fact they advertise “10GB of free VPN protection every 30 days” seems like a red flag. Additionally, it’s generally pretty true you get what you pay for, so their paid plans running $1/month also seems fishy. If you want a trusted free VPN, Proton is the smart choice. If you’re willing to pay for the service, Proton, MullVad, or IVPN are the trusted options for privacy.

10gb is the free plan. Every 30 days.

Yep, and since nearly all free VPN’s cover their cost by selling user data, it’s a red flag.

Might as call it CIA Honeypot VPN.

Looks fine to me . Independent and Swiss, it seems .

I’d never heard of it until now and am so far okay sticking with Windscribe.
