There are dangers from streaming matches from unofficial sites

We should stay away from third-party advertising sites that use different tricks to cheat. They take information easily and leak everything. Suspicious links should not be clicked as crypto scams have the same pattern and design and are easily recognized if users are aware. Also, it is often seen that links are bought and artificial traffic is redirected. But all this still gives no guarantee. This is why third party news cannot be trusted.

and because of this i avoid watching on illegal platforms because if we see that they not only display lots of advertisements on one screen, but they also put malicious scripts which can steal user data. if you install an antivirus and try to access the illegal streaming platform, the antivirus will definitely block many illegal scripts that try to track or access user information. so, as much as possible, never access illegal platforms, because nowadays there are many crimes committed on the internet and we must never become their victims.

Streaming the matches itself is a crime under copy right laws so one who do is get caught they will face serious consequences.

And as mention in OP those free streaming sites of movies, TV shows and everything that you pay to watch them via Apps is kind of filled with malicious links and it's kind of obvious too cause if you enter into the site there will be popups everywhere and asks you to click confirm and everything else even ad blockers can't stop them all.

Wow. I didn't know about that. Do you think all of them free VPN services are like that?

Among the free VPN that I know of, the only one that I have tried that does not display ads and which I think do not share customers information is Proton VPN. It is a paid VPN but which has free version that can be used but with limited locations. They generate money from those that subscribed to the VPN services and not displaying ads for those that make use of the VPN freely.

Paid VPNs generate money from users subscriptions and not ads and selling of customers information.

Tor is the best for privacy but can not be used to access some sites. It is free and I use it to access any site I can use to access but use VPN for the sites I can not use Tor to access.

I'm fine with ads, but selling of customers information that's too much. By the way, I think it's illegal, no?

I'm using Windscribe. They have both paid and free version, and for me free version is enough. I hope they are not selling my information to anyone. At least when I google about it I see "Windscribe is a decent VPN" and no complaints about them selling anything.
