Hi, I have seen a lot of news about fishy VPN providers who themselves track their users and hand over user data to the government. This even happened with a sponsor of “Linus Tech Tips” I am wondering if you can sort of assure me or if the community can confirm that the VPN service provided by Blokada is secure. Also since I am in India is there a better pricing that you can offer for users in Asian Countries ? Thanks ---

As for VPN discounts, that is not yet possible, unless you get the 12 months subscription which has a 20% off. ---
