This isn’t a problem with the VPN, as the article says.

But that involves clicking the link and reading.

We don’t do that here, we just get angry.

According to the article i suppose the same technique can be implemented by the VPN provider, but if you like to continue using shady VPNs it’s not my business… good luck!! 👍✌️.
