Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Comments link posts on an iOS 9 bug, on why trust matters when choosing a VPN provider, and on the sale of Cloak to StackPath. None of them judge the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

I think that you are referring to a known bug that was introduced in iOS 9. They have a blog entry describing this. https://blog.getcloak.com/2015/10/19/feeling-a-little-too-se...

HN discussionWe're a well-known company with an earned reputation for doing the right thing. Not everyone can set up their own VPN endpoint. For those who can, and are willing to maintain it, great!

HN discussionFwiw Cloak just sold: https://blog.getcloak.com/2016/04/28/cloak-joins-stackpath/ I don't know if it was a "passive income" business for them, but if it were, why would that be a reason to not use it? It has a fantastic UX on both Mac OS X and iOS devices.
