I hope this question is OK to ask?

I’ve seen SurfShark get a lot of hate from privacy communities both on here an Reddit, and I’m wondering what makes it so bad in people’s eyes. I’m asking as I currnet user of the service who is weighing up his options as my sub will be up soon.

Thanks.

    I understand when you use a VPN, you have to trust the VPN provider(s). Besides the Kape boogeyman, I can find no real substantiated incidents that would cause me to pause. Of course, things could change anytime, which is why you personally audit the software you use.
