Here is their blog on it https://vpnpro.com/blog/hidden-vpn-owners-unveiled-97-vpns-23-companies/
I'm not seeing PIA or Nord VPN mentioned there at all which I guess is a very good thing?
I'd think those two would be two of the biggest wouldn't they?

there is a lot of dodgy VPNs out there
i would never use one where you have to download software to use it
or use a free one
if you need a VPN make your own or use dns4me
It's a brilliant ruse to give the customer/target what they want and exploit their trust.
A while ago, I suspiciously wondered if a government could get people to willingly install spy software in the guise of a popular app.
My pick was VLC but I'm sure any dodgy network traffic would have been noticed by now.
Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21
I just use the VPN option on my browser when I need one.
