Betternet - Fraudulent and misleading advertising

Do NOT use betternet VPN. As you can see, they advertise as "unlimited and free", however, this is a completely false andisleading statement.

After installing it, you're informed that only the first 7 days are free, then it's 8.99/month or 69.99 a year. How's that free?

This is a trick unscrupulous companies use to get you. Beware!!

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Use PROTONVPN
