Some of you may have noticed. Whenever I use Betternet to play because it’s blocked on a network, my password is changed a few days later. I really suggest not using it for anything. It’s a huge security risk to getting your account stolen.
Thankfully no one has used any hacks on my account. I don’t know what they do when they’re logged into your account but they probably spam or prevent users accessing your account by changing the password.
For whoever still using VPN just stop using it, com2us fixed the connection problems.
free VPNs are always shady. Previously it was hola now betternet. I prefer to pay some cash for a reputable VPN service so this free thing won’t take a lot more than just a few bucks from me. I am personally using purevpn after learning about hola the hard way. I would suggest everyone to let go of free ones and start using a premium one like me!
The VPN itself is likely not a threat to your account security, unless you are using a dodgy, unknown one.
However, free VPNs make their money by hijacking your bandwidth and renting it out to other people. It’s a common practice, but there’s very little recourse since you’ve installed the program yourself and agreed to the terms of use which you probably never read.
As long as you are connected through a VPN, there are countless other users who are accessing the internet via your bandwidth, and there’s no telling what sort of traffic that is.
