Heck, many free mobile VPN apps don't even encrypt your traffic. An analysis of VPN apps on Android done back in 2016 found 84% leaked IPv6, 66% leaked DNS, 38% contained malware...and 18% didn't even encrypt anything...

Study is two years old, but I doubt it's gotten any better. (Source, PDF: https://research.csiro.au/ng/wp-content/uploads/sites/106/20...)
