If you're not paying for the product, you ARE the product. Free VPNs have to make money somehow - and that somehow is you.
Running VPN servers costs money. Bandwidth, hardware, maintenance - it adds up fast. When a VPN is free, ask yourself: how are they paying for this?
The answer is almost always: by monetizing you.

Free VPNs log every website you visit and sell this data to advertisers and data brokers. The very privacy you're seeking is being sold to the highest bidder.
Many free VPNs modify web pages to inject their own advertisements. You see extra ads, they get paid. Some even inject tracking cookies.
Some free VPNs (like Hola) sell your internet connection to others. Your IP address could be used for anything - including illegal activities.
Free VPN apps, especially on Android, frequently contain hidden malware. They request excessive permissions and can access your contacts, photos, and more.
Without a VPN, your ISP can see your traffic. With a free VPN, your ISP can't see it - but the VPN company can, and they're actively selling it.
At least your ISP is regulated. Free VPN companies are often based in jurisdictions with no privacy laws, no accountability, and no consequences for abusing your data.

Transparent pricing: You pay, we provide the service. Simple.
