Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

ActMobile Networks is a verifiable, established entity with significant scale, claiming over 2 million Daily Active Users (DAU) and ranking highly in app stores with products like FreeVPN.org and Dash VPN. The team boasts strong pedigree from F5 and Cisco. However, the evaluation is heavily penalized by two factors: 1) A major, unacknowledged data breach in 2021 exposing 45 million user records, which severely undermines the core 'privacy' utility; and 2) An extremely low-quality submission containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and data errors. Despite the sloppy input, the underlying business traction places this in the 'Much larger scale' category, though the score is dampened by significant trust and quality concerns.
