Are VPN good for privacy today, should we used them to protect our privacy?
Not free, none have all advantages and wouldn’t let my ISP only know my traffic so these times I’m really overwhelmed by all of this
Used Tor for a bit but it’s not practically useful, slow (okay but not the main problem) and blocked by a lot of websites…
Maybe a chain of VPN could be good? I really don’t know, can you help me?
Basically I don’t want to have no protection but don’t think VPNs are really the solution…
PS: maybe a rented machine with self hosted like VPN could be good?
It could hide your IP from someone on Lemmy finding your IP address
Any HTTP proxy will do it without VPN complexity.
They didn’t really ask about a proxy server, I just gave them one thing a VPN could do
