The reason I’m asking is I’ve seen it and was wondering how it works, like the fine details.

To me all you would pay for is Vodafone to look at your internet traffic and secure it, but that just means you would pay them to snoop into your data.

I’m not sure though so any answer would help, thank you

    I wouldn’t trust it. Any registered carrier in a country would have to comply with wiretapping/interception laws of that country.

    It looks like it offers:

    • A virus scanner or application firewall
    • A filtering proxy intended for blocking websites known to be associated with malware
    • A service that notifies you if certain personal details are published in public, but shady lists
    • A filtering proxy intended for keeping kids from accessing content their parents don’t want them to

    It is possible this would involve keeping a log of your browsing activity. Most of it doesn’t sound especially useful, especially in the likely-crappy form an ISP is going to provide.

    Is it by a for-profit company, in year 3190 of our lady Discord?

    Then nope, it is not.*

    (* some exceptions may apply, not in this case though)
