The danger lies in the possibility of your real IP-address getting leaked to the websites you visit despite the security measures you take. Now that your IP is hidden, nothing bad can happen to you, right? It’s so easy to install a VPN, especially a free one, and consider oneself protected. But I have 1 year of GPU for 30 euros so I'm happy.What is the most dangerous thing about VPNs? Let’s read this article by James Herrin from vpn-review telling us everything about Free VPNs that Don’t Hide Your IP. I spent like 7 hours on this shit that day, 3 with support that changed 2 times (so flakey) so I had to re-explain my situation every time. But it should've worked fine if I was just doing what they told me haha. In 3 months I'll change my store region to the proper one. well not exactly, because I wanted to change the region, then accidentally changed to US because I thought I was choosing a language, then I couldn't get GPU because I don't have an American credit card, then I got a cheap 1-month code of Eneba, then it didn't work, then I realized I also had to change the account region to US and not only the store region. The support told me I should try that 3rd shop and it worked.
I live in Europe but I created my MS account years ago when I still lived in ME, and I didn't consider that when I tried to activate GPU. The problem was, that my store region was actually in the middle east. So, I contacted chat support (took a long while to get to them) but they were very helpful.
