my apologies for the long screenshot. i had purchased adguard's vpn service for five years since its primary adguard service is well know in the iapple ecosystem.
on android, though, their app appears to send data to a lot of third-parties. has it always been this compromised? am i a fool to go for their vpn services as well?
I disagree. You don't control Mullvad VPN so you don't control how the servers work. There is nothing Mullvad can do to change a fundamental property of the internet. They are no worse or better than your ISP. You shouldn't use device provided by your ISP and using a VPN gives a company insight and sometimes control of your machine. You should use your own device on your own network. From there setup encrypted DNS and lock down your network.
What? So your advice for improving privacy is to not use a VPN, because the provider may log stuff and instead keep accessing stuff directly through your ISP who will log everything you do and simply use DNS over HTTPS/TLS, which does pretty much nothing for your privacy since your ISP still sees the servers you connect to?
That's terrible advice.
