Tesonet's Oxylabs offers "10+ Million Mobile IPs in Every Country and Every City in the World"[1], which might explain why ProtonVPN, whose Android app is signed by Tesonet[2], is a free service. This is how Luminati, Tesonet's largest competitor in Residential Proxies, operates: it provides a free VPN service, Hola VPN, and then connects its users into a botnet[3], which is used for data mining operations.

It turns out, that Luminati Networks Ltd sued UAB Tesonet over patent infringement in "Large-scale web data extraction products and services with residential proxy network (oxylabs.io)"[1] in July 2018.
