Perhaps
If:
-- Privacy and security are paramount.
-- Speed is not critical.
-- Country of origin that your internet activity looks to be coming from is not a factor.
. then use the free and open-source Tor network via the Linux Tails operating system or, perhaps, the Linux Parrot operating system via their Anon Surf feature that wraps all networking over the Tor network.
With Tor, there is:
-- nothing to sign up for.
-- no one to trust for access to the network.
VPNs are simply proxies that you connect to via encryption, and all of your internet activity appears to originate from there. Aside from faster speeds, due to the single hop between you and the VPN service and less network congestion, I am not sure of why anyone would use a less private solution, like a VPN, and incur a cost for that less private solution.

2: 15 - Using VPNs (or anything else) to bypass georestrictions is a sure-fire way of getting your account suspended for violating the TOS. There's a reason that sites geoblock content (usually licensing and/or advertising. I remember back when Hulu was the only streaming site, people used proxies to bypass restrictions and got blocked left and right. If anything, TOSes are _more_ strict about that stuff now, so all the YTers shilling VPNs and touting bypassing geoblocks are going to get people suspended. -

Here's a question:
Does using a VPN and signing into sites with real details- A) render the VPN useless in this case, or B) actively give companies extra data which they will correlate onto my profile that I should worry about? (i. e. my vpn provider, likely close vpn servers etc.
Corollary- if B) is true- does that also apply for basically any online activity given the omnipresence of tracking, fingerprinting etc?

Just switched on my ProtonVPN killswitch. thanks for that, Henry. Currently I'm using ProtonVPN, ProtonMail, Brave and Signal on my desktop, laptop and Samsung phone. I don't really require a high level of privacy/security, but who knows what the future might bring. Be Prepared, right? An interesting subject for you to explore might be to assess various privacy/security setups and how they might be tweaked for improvement/synergy.

I like the point about use cases. Some people get very irate if your VPN service isn't 100% perfect, even though not all of us need a 100% perfect VPN. There are lots of services out there and it's okay if yours isn't completely anonymous if your intended use isn't to commit cyber crime or hide your thought crimes from a totalitarian state.

How do i reduce my fingerprint on brave (1 in 5300) so i can use it anonymously with a vpn. Privacy io check told me i only have partial fingerprint protection even after i had set up brave. Also is a vpn useless with java script enabled because of exposing fingerprint?

If you live in China you need at least 2 VPNs. Every VPN will get blocked sometimes. Having at least one other gives you the chance of connecting again. If it works in the morning is no guarantee that it'll work in the afternoon!

Great video! Is it dangerous to turn off your VPN for online gaming? considering you need a good ping for videogames. I mainly want my browsing to be private, I don-t really care much about if platforms like steam know my IP.

But my question is where and what is the proper way of buying crypto currency? So you could pay anonymously.
I know there are billions of fake websites.
