ProtonMail Launches Free ProtonVPN Service For Macs (bleepingcomputer.com)
The creators of popular encrypted email service ProtonMail have released a free version of their ProtonVPN software for macOS. From a report: Even though the free version does not contain the full features that you would come to expect from a paid VPN service it is more than capable of obfuscating IP addresses and your location. While ProtonVPN has already released Windows and Android versions, according to Dr. Andy Yen, CEO of ProtonMail, their reason for releasing the free macOS version "is to make the world a safer place by ensuring that citizens around the world have access to an Internet free of spying and censorship. Releasing a free VPN service for macOS is another important step in that direction."
Don't spout crap. ProtonMail is a highly-respected firm in the secure communications space and is run on a non-profit model. It's very likely this is a genuine public service. If you read more about it, you'd see that the free version has limited server choices and lower speeds. It's not secretly logging you.
