From the article: “Unsurprisingly, this skyrocketed searches for the best VPNs. According to a SlashGear report sent to Mashable, searches for “Texas VPN” jumped by 1,750 percent in the past day. It also spotted a 1,600 percent increase for the phrase “How to access Pornhub.””

I suspect they invested in companies that sell VPNs.

Kape technologies comes to mind, which owns Private Internet Access, CyberGhost, and ExpressVPN, and is in turn owned by an Israeli billionaire

Is there a wesbite that hosts all these connections? I’m sure if we could see the web of relations there’d be a little but of reasoning on top of this dung pile.
