    To me it has now become more of a necessity to use VPN as recent data suggests. Our privacy is not guaranteed and looks like every hacker can spoof our location. I urge everyone to use a VPN and for read article on VPN Providers for starters just to get a rough idea.
    Give your suggestions too !

    rule number one VPN dont hide your data track
    they just say "i fetch data for this guy"
    the cookies and your browsing habbits are too easy to track
    if you use VPN pay for it and get good performance

    yup, it is dangerous to not use a vpn service that reroutes your pc IP to another region while going to sites like facebook and/or mail where you explicity put your real name, your location, the school you went to, your local of work cause someone may find the closest server to your PC

    Privacy online is almost impossible to archive.
    Did you know that if i.e. if you use chrome, your browser is identifiable by Google no matter what?
    If you use a VPN, get one that don't log user activity. Free VPN's are notorious for selling your data, so don't use them.

    I am against free vpn as they do not provide the same level of data protections as the paid ones do. Plus there servers are very limited and there is no surety that those free VPN do no leak IP address.

    And not only that. As long as you don't block every third-party request, you'll still be tracked by a few websites. Website devs usually sacrifice user's privacy for their own convenience every time they use a CDN.

    Basically, a select few CDN services are aware of most of your online history.

    To combat lazy devs who use CDNs for APIs, Decentraleyes is an extension that redirects those requests to locally stored versions. It doesn't completely solve the problem, but it does significantly mitigate it.
