Is Your Free VPN Selling Your Data? (2026/704)

You installed a free VPN to protect your privacy, but what if it is actually doing the exact opposite? Most free VPN providers need to make money somehow, and if you are not paying with your wallet, you are almost certainly paying with your data.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ Why running a VPN service is expensive and how free providers cover those costs
✅ How free VPNs collect and sell your browsing history, habits, and behavioural data to brokers
✅ Why “no logs” marketing claims cannot be trusted without independent audits
✅ Why a free VPN is worse than other dodgy apps - because ALL your traffic flows through it
✅ Three practical steps: uninstall, change passwords, and budget for a paid provider

Stop being the product. A decent paid VPN costs less than a coffee a month and keeps your data where it belongs - with you.
