Techspot has a table of some known bad VPNs, and concludes:
The report does not speculate heavily on Qihoo 360’s motives for concealing ownership of so many free VPN apps, an approach that likely helped boost downloads while avoiding reputational risks.

I wouldn’t recommend any VPN other than Proton or Mullvad. You are tunneling all of your internet traffic through their server, which creates a database of a mountain of valuable information and almost no one is going to resist that temptation.

That’s opening Pandora’s box though, since you then become aware of illegal activities and take on a lot of liability
