“Kape Technologies is a major player in the online privacy world, one of the three giants that collectively control the market. It owns many of the world’s top VPNs, including ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, ZenMate, Intego Antivirus, and a host of tech websites that promote its products. Kape brands can be seen sponsoring a wide array of public figures, such as Tucker Carlson, Angry Video Game Nerd, Drew Gooden, Lex Fridman, Cody Ko, Uncle Roger, and Ben Shapiro.”
“(Kape Technologies) It also bought a host of VPN review sites, such as vpnMentor and Wizcase – platforms that purport to supply readers with expert information about which VPN would be best for them. vpnMentor insists that this considerable conflict of interest does not affect their ratings.”

Good to know, thanks for sharing. I didn’t know about this,. It shows that is really hard to be correctly informed without dedicating an extra effort on many steps of the privacy way.
I looked at the other articles on the site and that already caused some red flags. Then looked at the wiki and saw the same thing.
If you aren’t using either proton vpn, Mullvad or ivpn, you’re asking for trouble imo.
i use windscribe is that good?
I’m not a fan of any but those I mentioned.
oh

I expected this from ExpressVPN and PIA, and I think Kappe was already known doing very shady things, but it’s a good reminder, and also there are most probably people who didn’t know yet
I use Njalla, which is part of Pirate Bay. Problem solved.
What do you think of all this?
Is it a rhetorical question?
I only use Ivpn and its pretty great
