VPN Suggestions?
Considering how deeply entrenched I'm becoming within the cryptosphere it seems foolish at this point to not be using a VPN. Plus my roommate has been pirating stuff and getting strikes on our ISP.
I used tunnel bear once to buy EOS during the ICO. When I found out that McAfee bought them out though I became a bit skeptical. He's such a manic wildcard.
Anyone have any suggestions? I was going to ask Google but then i realized I trust my Steem community more than what I can find on my own. 100% upvote to all suggestions and justifications.

I like pia (privateinternetaccess)
I don’t have personal experience yet with picking a VPN but when I do I’m definitely going with a paid one. I think James Corbett spoke of VPN options, he covers a lot of the stuff like this at some point.
I haven’t read it but a quick search for VPN on his site brought me this

I have several vpns on my iPhone and iPad since I find that sometimes one works better than another at a given location. One of those I also use on my PC successfully, VPN Unlimited. It allows you to select any global endpoint location if that is a benefit to you. I also got a great deal on a lifetime subscription :)
I would still look at on-line reviews as they may give you a better idea what features you might want to look for in your particular situation, even if the reviews are biased (sadly, some are).
A lot of people like PIA (Private Internet Access).
I've used IPVanish before. They work really well and have a ton of servers all over the world.
NordVPN has some awesome tech support, but their servers are limited.
There's also this new Librem (not to be confused with Libra), which is like this whole mess of services from Purism, which is a Linux computer maker. They give you an account to use for end-to-end encrypted email and chat, plus a VPN tunnel. They're also hoping to get enough customers to have cloud storage and backup as well as phone service. So, basically everything that the other providers give, but focused on security and privacy. The chat and messaging is based on the open source rocket distributed services even. It's $8 for one person, or $15 a month for a family pack, which isn't great compared to just a VPN, but it's supporting a company that's trying to roll out a whole mess of privacy based services.
Whatever service you choose, you'll probably actually wanna set up something like a rasberry pi to actually tunnel all of your traffic through, so anyone that connects to your wifi goes through the VPN and you don't have to deal with your roommate accidentally going off the VPN. There are a ton of guides and ways to do it. Even possible to run it on some routers themselves. Basically just needs a basic Linux computer to be set up to run the VPN and forward the traffic.
Here's a great vpn comparison tool: https://thatoneprivacysite.net/#simple-vpn-comparison. Just change it to show all of them instead of just 10 entries at a time. I like mullvad. Privateinternetaccess works well too.
Ha! You beat me to it. I love that site and was just fixing to recommend it. It requires some understanding and work on your own, but seems independent and not spammy.
He also has a much more thorough list at https://thatoneprivacysite.net/#detailed-vpn-comparison
Also lots of good explanation on the site.
At a minimum, ask DuckDuckGo instead.
mullvad. you can pay with bitcoin.
I second Mullvad. It's the best out of many that I have tried in terms of ease of use, privacy and performance.
I have a free one, well its not really free, you run an extension that is an adblocker that generates you crypto while you use it, so if you choose not to keep the coins you can instead use them to run their VPN (extension runs on brave broswer or firefox, maybe still chrome though they had problems with chrome) https://bittubeapp.com/?ref?2JP105ORP
I use Freedome by F-secure - It is a Finnish company (Not that that tells you much) but it is fairly well trusted here at least.
Im suddenly reminded of Mr. Robot.
:D
Great. Im also looking for one :)
i use bitdefender VPN
but i heard something called nord something is also good
hope all is well and be well and be safe bud
starve the beast any chance you get my friend
cheers
I use protonmail. It's based out of Switzerland. Well proton VPN lol
Actually thinking of getting a VPN too, I'll take some ideas from here...
I've been using brave browser lately, they seem the most secure, private and comes with tor already from the start, adding a VPN to the whole mix would make me really anon on the internet... of course, I could go the extra mile and use a cryptographic email, cryptographic chat service and use Kali Linux xD
It's been a while edicted, hope everything is going great, I had to take some time from blogging I was overburning myself and I was stressed as fuck from life, now it's better.
Sorry don't know.. and you are right about anyone willing to eat their wiener. 2020 is coming McAfee boy
