Not sure if it was just released today, but I got the email update about it just now. I'm pretty excited about this because I mostly just want VPN for web browsing, and the linux app kinda sucks.

It's great to be critical, but if at the end you throw up your arms and go without a VPN you're significantly less private.

You don't need to stop every single attack vector - not even browsing on Tails will do that. But to go with a good VPN provider who has a history of not handing over data when subpoenaed is good

Where can I find that good VPN provider? My ISP is "doing work" and that always makes me realize how vulnerable my household is to spying eyes.

I'd love to add a VPN to my home router (Opnsense) which continues to give me all the same features, no loss of speed, and complete privacy.

Ideas?
