But we're not gonna tell you which ones!
Yeah, not good of them to not share that information.
But for anyone who's wondering, here's a decent article that goes over the shady companies that discretely own most VPNs apps.
Amusingly, and kind of in counterpoint to the guy who you replied to, this article concludes that Proton is actually a solid VPN option that isn't beholden to one of those sketchy VPN-hoarding companies. Though they don't talk about any Israeli influence in Proton TBF. But still, on a general level (excluding the Israel/Palestine thing), Proton seems like one of the better options.
They also recommend Mullvad as a good option. I've never used them, but I've seen mentioned positively in other articles about VPNs.
ETA: Clarity.
