Privacytools.io: ❌ Software Removal | Consider remove VPN.ht from VPN section

[merlinnusr]

Description

1. vpn.ht offers weak encryption like 64 bit blowfish and 128 bit AES
   

2. vpn.ht offers outdated vpn client for Windows https://github.com/VPNht/desktop/ with a lot of vulnerable and outdated packages in package.json

List of vulnerabilities

1. It's a scam ( it offers vpn in 24 different countries but only 11 vpn nodes really works)

2. vpn.ht offers a proxy but that service doesn't exist
   

3. vpn.ht offers deprecated vpn protocols like PPTP
   

4. .ovpn files has deprecated sentences
   

I would recommend the administrators of privacytools.io to try the services they offer before recommending them at privacytools.io

Lol. Yeah I don’t actually know when some of these providers were added or who added them. Wasn’t around for the early days of PTIO.

Since we’re putting this renewed focus on the site we should probably just delist every provider and re-research solutions for each category.
