At first, Turbo VPN seemed like a decent free option, but it ended up being a letdown. Even though I didn’t have high expectations due to it being free, it still disappointed me. While I was using it to stream videos on YouTube, some malware apparently began sending spam emails from my internet connection via port 25. As a result, my ISP blocked my internet access, saying that a device on my network was responsible and that I needed to fix the issue to restore full access. Additionally, my personal domain email, which isn’t a common one like Gmail or iCloud, ended up on Microsoft’s black or gray list. It’s important to note that the spam wasn’t sent from my domain email, but from my IP address.
A free VPN service should be a major warning sign. They need to pay for and maintain servers, so they’re either selling your data or doing shady stuff on your phone in the background. Users are responsible for the 10 million downloads, 700,000 reviews, and a rating of 4.7. It’s often said: if you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.
