Providers make big promises
VPNs are now readily available to everyone. Corresponding programs are available free of charge. VPN apps even top some charts. But users usually don t think about the risks in this situation.
VPN apps are plentiful, and the providers promises are great. If you install their software on your cell phone, you can go online particularly securely, they say. And they promise that your personal data can no longer be accessed by potentially malevolent forces. What is clear: If the VPN works, you can use streaming services from other countries, bypass government censorship and access blocked websites.
