Negative impacts of Free VPNs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Choosing the right VPN is pretty daunting but it will be a blunder if you go for a free one. Here are the reasons to avoid VPNs that cost nothing:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lack_of_transparency%E2%80%A6simply_dangerous\"><\/span>Lack of transparency&#8230;simply dangerous<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To safeguard the data of their users VPN provider needs expensive hardware and expertise as well. While they are not charging any fees in return then how would they pay for the maintaining costs? They share your data with <strong>Chinese<\/strong> authorities in return means you are paying your data if you are not paying money. Lack of transparency and suspicious privacy policies make them dangerous. So the choice is yours, free or paid?<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buffering_can_frustrate_you\"><\/span>Buffering can frustrate you<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>First of all answer a question. Why you choose a VPN? I know you <strong>choose a Virtual Private Network to access locked data<\/strong> and hide your IP. Suppose you are enjoying your favorite TV show or movie on <strong>Netflix<\/strong> via VPN and suddenly you encounter buffering, what would you do then? If you switch to a PVN provider that charges nothing from you then you have to face slow connections and buffering issues most of the time.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_catch_Malware_in_your_system_easily\"><\/span>You can catch Malware in your system easily<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As per a study, it is declared that over 30% of free VPNs contain malware and if you connect them then there are higher chances of getting malware in your system. The decision is yours now whether you want to pay a few bucks for a quality VPN or want to buy malware that would steal your private info like bank details etc.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_can_sell_your_data\"><\/span>They can sell your data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you get started with a VPN then they promise you to keep all your information secure and proper anonymity but they are lying to you. In fact, all the <strong>VPNs<\/strong> that are free to use keeps a log of all your online activities. They spy what are you browsing and which sites you are visiting. They collect your data and sell it to the advertisers and can redirect online traffic as well. They earn money by selling your data to the illegal authorities. I think you understood now why free VPNs are bad for you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ready_to_go%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>Ready to go&#8230;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A\u00a0 wide array of premium and paid VPNs available in the market that fulfill all the security concerns that are required from a good VPN. So for saving few bucks why take risks and put your private info in danger. I think after observing the post you would never think to switch to a Free VPN provider and if you got my point then let me know below.<\/p>\n<p>Still, any doubt regarding the post then put your query in the comment box to get the best answer.
