The whole initiative is a joke. Its a few big VPN companies listing out multiples VPNs that they own to boost the membership, to make it seem legitimate.
Ivacy, Pure VPN - same company
Nord, Surfshark - same company
IP Vanish, WLVPN, StrongVPN, Ziff Davis - same company
Thats basically half their membership owned by 3 companies. Those were just the relations that were easy to find.
