Description

We should add a badge for this. It's not acceptable to "block" IPv6 because "leaks" when you can instead route it through the VPN tunnel and out the server.

Also this was some research one of our community members did about various other providers. These were the ones that seemed to support IPv6 in the Which VPN Services Keep You Anonymous in 2019? article.

AirVPN

AirVPN website is a mess (marketing done wrong). "Hide your IP" with a somewhat frivolous claim "nobody can discover your identity through it".

PerfectPrivacy

Perfect Privacy: Warrant canary. Misleadingly worded "Ok" button to opt-in to tracking cookie, with no button for "No". Contradicting privacy "policy" recommends their own product to solve a problem that... their product creates. The privacy "policy" can be a bit difficult to understand, but it aims to comply with GDPR. Words like "user data" are never defined in the privacy "policy", saying they don't have it, yet go on immediately to say they have this or that.

Use Multi-Hop VPN to protect yourself from tracking and monitoring.

No, it doesn't. There's also these brand words nobody understands without descriptions.

BolehVPN

I don't even want to look at BolehVPN for long. Their website has so many third-party requests.

RECLAIM your security privacy and anonymity with our personal Virtual Private Network that protects and hides your real network identity by giving them our servers’ identity instead of yours.

Boleh, there's something also wrong about this statement.

Marketing done wrong: List all the buzzwords you can imagine, like SHA-256, PKI, AES and Perfect Forward Secrecy.

https://www.bolehvpn.net/privacy-policy/

This was my final reason to say 👎️. Nothing about GDPR. Nothing about jurisdiction of the company there or on the "about us" page. Just no.

Oh, hidden info.

BolehVPN Sdn Bhd
Reddi Building, 393 Jalan Datuk Abang Abdul Rahim,
93450 Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia

VPNCity

VPNCity: Just look at all those third-party requests on their website! "VPN Official Site". "hack-proof VPN". Marketing done right.

1301 Bank Of America Tower, 12
Harcourt Road, Central - Hong Kong 1000

No. Just no. 👎️

Stealth mode: Exposed [blinking red warning triangle]

No. Just no. 👎️
https://www.vpncity.com/page/privacy-policy is also not GDPR-ish.

SecureVPN

SecureVPN: "Anonymize and encrypt your internet connection" It doesn't make you anonymous. 👎️

I am "unprotected" because I'm not using their VPN. 👎️

Who runs this? 👎️👎️👎️
