Is VPN dangerous? There are a lot of rumors and opinions around this issue. But I want to hear the opinion of real users, and what they think about this issue. Just before I start to use it, I would like to understand this question in more detail.

Technical progress does not stand still and has already reached the level of development where devices are able to monitor the actions of users on the Internet and not only. VPN server logs - a log in which the data about the user's actions on the Internet is stored. It can record the real IP-address, other information about the user and his device settings. It also records the history of connections and actions on the network. You can check your VPN and understand where the logs are going. Or you can use an anonymous VPN service. You can check where the logs are going or not, very easy and simple. You can perform actions that are prohibited by the terms of service. If the service blocks the account, it means that logging is still running. However, it is not recommended to determine the anonymity of the VPN provider this way. If the provider maintains logs, he is obliged to pass information to law enforcement agencies. And if you want to use a secure VPN, then I would advise you to choose a suitable service for you at hostingscams.com, I'm sure you will choose a reliable VPN there.

Free VPN services are most often only a semblance of protection. They may not have important features like encryption. When using such services, users often note a decrease in speed, as well as the presence of annoying advertising. To use a paid anonymous VPN is enough for a few dollars a month. At the same time, providers often have a system of discounts, for example, when paying for annual access.

It's not dangerous as long as you choose a reliable provider.

Using a VPN can have both benefits and risks. The benefits include increased privacy and security by encrypting your internet traffic and hiding your IP address. But, it's true that there are also risks. Some VPNs may be poorly secured. Your data can be intercepted or stolen. Additionally, some VPNs are run by organizations with malicious intent. I recommend you to choose a reputable and trusted VPN provider. An alternative could be ISP Proxies. They're pretty safe and cheaper. But in any case, you should read the privacy policy and terms of service to ensure they align with your values.
