市場上有很多 VPN 都是由中國公司在後面營運

在「Hidden VPN owners unveiled: 97 VPN products run by just 23 companies」這篇分析了 VPN 產業裡面背後的公司。

其中有兩個比較重要的事情,第一個是很多公司 (或是集團) 都擁有多個 VPN 品牌 (甚至有到十個品牌的),所以如果想要透過多家 VPN 分散風險時,在挑的時候要看一下:

另外一個是後面有多中國人或是中國公司在營運:

We discovered that a good amount of the free mobile-only VPNs are owned by Chinese companies, or companies run by Chinese nationals.

  • Innovative Connecting (10 VPN apps): Director Danian “Danny” Chen is a Chinese national (Chen’s LinkSure is the sole shareholder and shares the same address as Innovative Connecting)
  • Hotspot VPN (5 VPN apps): Director Zhu Jianpeng has a residential address in Heibei Province in China
  • Hi Security (3 apps): the VPN apps are part of Shenzhen HAWK Internet, a subsidiary of the Chinese major company TCL Corporation
  • SuperSoftTech (2 apps): while officially owned by Singapore-based SuperSoftTech, it actually belongs to independent app publisher Jinrong Zheng, a Chinese national based in Beijing.
  • LEILEI (2 apps): by the titles of the VPNs (all written in Chinese characters), it’s likely that this developer is Chinese or based in China
  • Newbreed Network Pte.Ltd (6 apps): again, while it has a Singapore address, the websites for its VPN apps SGreen VPN and NodeVPN are completely in Chinese, while NodeVPN’s site lists the People’s Republic of China as its location.

這些公司與產品都應該要直接避開... 在有能力的情況下,在 public cloud 上自己架設還是會比較保險。
