[Privoxy-users] Concern about Privoxy sponsor

[Ian Chard]

Hi Privoxy people,

I recently received an email in these terms from a company called
Comparitech about the sponsor currently displayed on Privoxy's website.
I don't make a judgement either way about your sponsor but thought you
should know that this is happening.  Right now the sponsor is a binary
options trading website.

Warm regards
- Ian

Hi Ian,

I noticed your website sends users to Privoxy here on this page - [a URL
from my blog]. I wanted to warn you that they're sending their visitors
to a couple of shady sites, like a binary options review website which
promotes known investment scams (take a look at the bottom of each page).

I'm sure you don't want your visitors getting scammed - if you're
looking for an alternative, may I suggest our list of free VPNs as an
alternative?

[a URL on their site]

In case you’re unaware, a VPN is another type of proxy that achieves the
same end result as Privoxy. VPNs sacrifice a small amount of speed
compared to other types of proxies but are more secure, so I think your
visitors will find this valuable nevertheless.

Perhaps you'd consider swapping out the Privoxy link and send people to
us instead?
