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

    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.

      Yeah doesn’t sound amazing, the thing is I don’t want to use a vpn on mobile data, I use Apple private relay, but that only works in safari and certain other stuff.

      Basically just trying to keep myself safe and mostly private when using mobile data

        I’m not sure what “safe” or “mostly private” means to you in this context. The Vodafone filtering proxy might stop you from visiting some websites that host malware.

          You know looking back I kinda answer my own question, as privacy for me means no logs and as someone pointed out they keep logs. But yeah you do have a point also but the internet is like the Wild West sometimes
