even premium VPN services are risky...all products can share your data with third parties.

It’s a bit unsettling when you realize the company might be using your data to make money in other ways. I had a friend who used a free VPN and noticed their connection started slowing down after a while. Turned out, they were getting flooded with ads, and they weren't even aware that their data was being sold off.The added privacy with 5G proxies seems a lot safer for browsing and avoids those issues. That made me think more about using paid services, but also, I’ve recently looked into buying 4G/LTE/5G rotating mobile proxies.
