What doesn't make sense?
A VPN is, in simple terms, just a network connection that goes through someone else's modem.
All of that is normal for a VPN:
- You depend on their paid service
- You depend on their network availability
- Basic data reporting enabled by default (which you can opt out of)
I meant it as a "you depend on their service" but that alone just felt redundant/confusing with "you depend on their network availability".
By paid, I mean "contractually obligated" service, I hope it can make sense of what I am trying to express.
It could've been free, but it'd depend on them wanting to give you their services.
