    You don’t have to. You can audit the code yourself and build it from scratch. Most won’t. But you can.

      Only works if you code. For the 99% of us that don’t, open source means little in that regard.

        True, but you can. For vpn you have to trust them. There is no other choice.

        If you can’t read code yourself you can pay a number of companies some money to do the audit for you. Or you can learn to code.

        You can’t learn to know how the vpn logs data.

        But I get you. Most of us just put our trust in another entity.
