Another question, since you tech people on here seem to be so helpful, what's a good VPN to get?

@Indigofera I've used iPredator for several years. Easy to set up with good directions on the site, been really happy with it.

@Indigofera proxy.sh is the best by a mile. I can justify this claim if pressed. There's some other good ones but I've spent a LOT of time looking
@five I believe you but I'd also like to hear a short justification.
@Indigofera A self-made one, but since it requires technical competencies, I recommend cryptostorm.
@Merristasis I don't think I'm good enough at tech for that
@Indigofera There are plenty tutorials about it but you need basics and a server
@Merristasis yeah idk about that

@Merristasis @Indigofera Read about this one some time ago. Yeah, you need a server (virtual private server somewhere, or computer in your house), but setup should be reasonably beginner-friendly and they have community help. Disclaimer: I haven't tried it.

I use Private Internet Access, myself. Not saying that's a better option, but they accept gift cards if you're paranoid. So that's a thing.

@Indigofera private access Internet is my fav. if you do a paid Protonmail account you get free VPN with that as well.
