      Why do any VPNs require an account?

      Not sure I can answer that. If there’s any kind of billing, they’d at least need to make sure the computer connecting to a tunnel is being used by a paying user. Mullvad does a privacy-minded token system for that, but it’s still a kind of login.

      If you’re looking for private browsing without a login, you’ll want to use TOR.

      Is their vpn free? You’re signing up for a VPN service that has a limited amount of bandwidth provided at no cost.

      Their angle isn’t to sell your data, it’s for you to want to upgrade to the paid plan.

      You won’t find a VPN that has no ability to share information about you.
