What doesn’t make sense?
A VPN is, in simple terms, just a network connection that goes through someone else’s modem.
All of that is normal for a VPN:
- You depend on their paid service
- You depend on their network availability
- Basic data reporting enabled by default (which you can opt out of)
You depend on their paid service
Non-Free means the server code is proprietary, it’s not about price
I meant it as a “you depend on their service” but that alone just felt redundant/confusing with “you depend on their network availability”.
By paid, I mean “contractually obligated” service, I hope it can make sense of what I am trying to express.
It could’ve been free, but it’d depend on them wanting to give you their services.
How would you define inviziblepro in that case ?
A Tor client of some sort. Not a VPN per se, but uses the same technique times 1000 to mask your location/ip as it goes through many more routers, thus you still depend on someone else’s computers: their willingness to provide you a service (which is kind of a given in a Tor network) and their availability.
No surprise that it’s often blocked in China. The most damning thing I see there is that they use twitter and facebook, which does seem to be true.

Haha, two of many I refuse to use. I don’t blame the company, they gotta use the channels of their consumers, unfortunately for them.
Is what true?
Everything here are disclaimers by the app dev.
Here it says that the app tracks and reports your activity. We usually use a VPN for privacy and anonymity. If the VPN tracks my activities and reports it, what’s the point in using it at all ??
Usage and crash reporting are enabled by default (require opt-out).
Why did you highlight this out ?
Because it’s not the “invasion of privacy” kind of tracking, and you can opt out of it anyway.
How can I opt out of it ?
Settings -> Help us fight censorship
It will be in the options somewhere. It says you can opt out, you can figure it out.
