This is an ad for a VPN. VPNs that advertise this way are usually the worst ones.

The guy had Mullvad listed in his screenshot, but didn't say a word about them... and they don't advertise in this way. Nor do they have user accounts that can trace back to an identity.



Ad hominem does not change the fact that ProtonVPN admits to monitoring their users: "we check the network traffic on the server in question in realtime to verify the abuse report. If we see a VPN connection engaged in abusive behavior when we check, we find the userid associated with that connection and terminate the account." [1]
