Some free services cut costs by selling their users’ data to third-party vendors. We know this seems super counterproductive, but it is a fairly common practice. Additionally, it is pretty typical of free VPNs to only provide some of the features of paid VPNs and a lot of their security measures are lacking.

At the second day of Build, Microsoft’s Shilpa Ranganathan ran a showcase and provided some more info. There are still some things we’d like to know, but the demo does give some much-needed clarity.
