Default Globus VPN Browser - new - but is it a gimmick - and where is it from?

In article news
Archive.org shows the site has existed since 2014.

https://web.archive.org/web/*/https:...vpnbrowser.org

The phone number they use, is ostensibly "UK", but any amount
of redirection could be applied on the destination side. Why have
a UK phone number, if you cannot show a UK street address as well ?
Seems a bit odd. If you wanted to remain incognito as a developer,
it would be better to just list an email address and leave
people wondering. The UK phone number part seems like a false
flag of some sort. (Like maybe only a dude in sales lives in
the UK, while the development is done elsewhere.)

I'm sure using a shovel and a miners lamp, you'll get
to the bottom of this.


Thanks Paul for clarifying the strangeness of this Globus VPN Browser.
There are enough red flags that I'm not going to try it, even though I
generally have tried almost every free public VPN solution known to
mankind.

This one really isn't "just" an integrated "privacy browser", so, let me
close this thread by summarizing that the following "related" privacy
browsing situations seem to be the short list.

1. Epic & Opera are integrated-proxy/vpn privacy browsers.
2. Tor is something completely different (but with "proxy" overlap)
3. Privacy browser is a catch-all phrase of something different still
4. Attaching a VPN to a Browser is different still
5. And, just using a browser with any VPN is even different still.
6. And using any browser with any web proxy is different still.

I don't know what the names for all those things are, but here's a summary:
1. Integrated vpn browsers
2. Tor browsers
3. Privacy browsing mode
4. VPN
5. VPN-attached browsers
6. Proxies

This thread is only seeking a better integrated-vpn privacy browser.
It seems that Globus just isn't gonna make the short list.

Thanks for saving everyone else the time since they can learn from our
efforts, which is the whole point of any Q&A thread on Usenet.
