Due to the blocking of social media applications in Pakistan, people are trying to access these apps through different VPNs and most of them include people whose jobs are related to internet and social media apps.
The trend of online marketing and business is growing, but on the other hand, internet outages in Pakistan, slow internet speeds and social media apps are severely damaging the businesses of millions of people in the country.
According to media reports, recently there have been incidents of Fiver temporarily restricting the accounts of Pakistani freelancers and the reason for this has been stated by Fiver that the user’s location is constantly changing. The gig is being temporarily restricted due to security concerns.
It should be noted that according to IT experts, when you use this paid VPN, the location changes and this is the reason why Fiver is restricting the profiles. But the notification which is circulating on social media is old
What problems can these paid VPNs cause?
According to experts, not all paid VPNs are substandard and there are many that provide very standard services such as Proton, BitDefender, TunnelBear and Bot etc. However, some VPNs provide free service but steal data by accessing mobile and computer data or engage in clickbait to earn money.
The services of such VPNs are very substandard and they can sell users’ data to anyone for money so it is very important to be careful with them as it can lead to very serious consequences like hacking of accounts. or stolen passwords.
Experts say that the issue with these paid VPNs is that all the data is being routed through the servers of these VPN companies and when the data goes through these servers to its destination. If so, he is also going to these VPN providers. In this situation very easily data or accounts can be hacked and any file, password, financial data or whatever you open with the help of these VPNs then that data goes to them and gets leaked. Which can then reach the dark web and hackers causing you financial, social and personal loss.
It should be noted that all the companies that are providing free vpn are also getting some benefit from it and sometimes the virus gets into the phone or computer automatically which can lead to data hacking. is All these harms can happen to any human by using these paid VPNs. Except for 4 to 5 big companies whose VPNs are reliable and have a good subscription price.
