Yep, there is no such thing as a 'better ad experience' other than removing them ;)

Chinese Commercial VPN service makes use of hacked Windows servers abroad: https://blogs.rsa.com/terracotta-vpn-enabler-of-advanced-threat-anonymity/
The main reason for the brute force attacks, disabling of the firewall and windows defender - 31 hacked Windows servers were detected. The main reason for the hacks could be it was cost saving.

But American VPN to China is also not very secure: https://www.goldenfrog.com/vyprvpn/features/vpn-server-locations
-> http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=https://www.goldenfrog.com  dns report: http://www.dnsinspect.com/datafoundry.com/1438711068  nameserver version info proliferation turns up moderate bind security: https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhsa-announce/2014-January/msg00013.html  caching only Bind server.
Bind
To hide version in when using Bind, open named.conf configuration file using your favorite editor, go to options section and set a custom version string using version option.  So goldenfrog already has some rust.
