Something about commercial VPN Services : My concerns

In the previous article, I’ve exposed here the concept of a VPN, what’s happening when you using one, and what do the commercial services are offering. Now, I’ll explain why I don’t trust them, and why I won’t use them. And by extension, why I will never write any “sponsored content” for them.
