    I genuinely wonder what people think they’re using a VPN for. Do they think they’ve outwitted a trillion dollars in surveillance with an $8/mo subscription service?

      A VPN is part of a toolset. No tool alone is enough, and they only really work for some porpoises.

      Some people think it is enough. Some people think chrome incognito is enough. Some people are wrong.

      I’m any case, privacy is a spectrum. I can’t be untraceable by state agents, but I can avoid a lot of non targeted spying.
