Free VPN Risk Index: Android Apps - silversurfer - 21 January 19

Quote:We created the risk index by testing the 150 most popular free VPN apps in the official Google Play store. More than 25% failed to protect user privacy due to DNS leaks. We also found 85% featured questionable permissions or functions buried in their source code that could potentially be used to spy on users. Our tests also revealed a laundry list of other security flaws and performance issues.
