   Most free VPNs are monitored by the company that created them.  A few paid   
   for VPNs have also been caught doing this.  If you read security reports even   
   the Tor browser can be monitored by a few parties.   
      
   If you intend to evade such monitoring schemes please check out the services   
   before you use them.   
      
   Any Microsoft, Google(Meta), and probably all so called Smart Phones also   
   monitor and possibly adjust what you do.
