A VPN isn’t going to protect you from malware or trackers. I’m not sure how they can get away with this marketing.

    ispot.tv is on one of my DNS blacklists, it seems to be an advertising service?

    Many VPNs have built in traffic filtering that does block common malware, phishing, and tracking domains/IPs.

    Their advertising claims still do get a bit ridiculous though.

      Yeah, they’re not completely telling the truth, but they aren’t exactly lying either.

        They literally aren’t saying anything. There are no verbs in this advertisement; the narrator is speaking in noun phrases, not sentences. So he’s literally saying nothing.
