7 free 'no-log' Hong Kong VPNs that were keeping logs
That's exactly what happened earlier this month, when Hong Kong-based VPN provider UFO VPN was found by Comparitech to be keeping detailed information on its users. A database of usage logs -- including account credentials and potentially user-identifying information -- was exposed. To make matters worse, six more VPNs -- all of which were apparently sharing a common "white label" infrastructure with UFO -- were also reportedly logging data, according to The Register.

IPVanish breaks its “no logs” policy
IPVanish is one of the most popular VPN services available and one of its main appeals is the fact that it claims that it doesn’t keep any logs. Unfortunately, recent events indicate that the provider may not live up t its claims. In June 2016, IPVanish was involved in an incident in which logs were handed over to authorities in the United States. Before we move on to the details of the story, it is worth noting that after this happened, IPVanish was acquired by a new company, which states that it can confirm that no logs are kept at all. Still, the revelations have caused concern among VPN users and even before the mentioned incident took place, IPVanish was already saying that it was a no logs VPN solution.

7 VPN Scams You Need to Avoid in 2022
With the growing interest in online privacy and security, there are new VPN services popping up every week, promising 100% online anonymity and a “secure and private” browsing experience. And of course, you’ll find plenty of fake reviews on various “best VPN” websites to tell you they’re legit.
Unfortunately, I’ve found that many VPNs are misleading people with false marketing claims, sales gimmicks, and various scams. And because VPNs are often located in overseas jurisdictions, they will probably never be held accountable for dishonest marketing and/or outright fraud.
