These past several months have caused an influx of allegations towards VPN companies such as NordVPN, ProtonVPN, Cyberghost, IPVanish, HolaVPN, and Private Internet Access (PIA). What is true, what is false, what can be trusted?

Many of these rumors revolve around Tesonet and data collection related to several VPN companies, including but not limited to: Logging (No logs) policies, jurisdiction issues (United States, Panama, Lithuania, Romania, Germany), corporate issues, security problems, and much much more which can impact the privacy, security, and anonymity of a VPN service.

PS. Yes, I messed up shutter speed settings, this is what the “Low FPS” effect is caused by.
