That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 44 of the 50 other VPNs we grade. It costs $23.88 a year. - You could make: Ad and tracker blocking: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private. - You could not: An engine that recognises new malware as it appears. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
