Some of the free softwares' are sketchy, unless I know where they are receiving money :D If I have no idea how are they surviving, then I will NOT try them.

I'm not really sure how it works as im a bit behind. I'll add a link to it, anyone can try it themselves. It helps out if you want to access some "FORBIDDEN CONTENT"    https://surfshark.com/trust-dns
