An estimated 1.6 billion people rely on VPNs to carry out the most
sensitive tasks online, from watching illegal videos to engaging in sexual
or political activities. But few people know that a considerable chunk of
that market—including three of the six most popular VPNs—is quietly
operated by an Israeli-owned company with close connections to that
country’s national security state, including the elite Unit 8200 and
Duvdevan Units of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).

Incredibly interesting article. Thank you for sharing this.

Come on... there is no "independent" VPN. If it is a company, it can, and
it will (if you are important enough) be corrupted. All it takes is for
the governments to start fiddling around and a small, lonely VPN provider
soon falls.
 
I'd rather crack someones wifi and use their connection if I had anything
sinister to do, than to rely on some random VPN company representative
I've never known and will never see in my life again.
