[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 1747337, member: 28388"] Nah, I used to use an anonymous paid VPN, but got tired of paying for it. It's not only criminals and sickos who value their privacy. If you knew how much data that government agencies and companies like Google have about you, you'd probably do it as well. In 2006 AOL data was leaked (and a few web sites are still out there that make it available to everyone) showing people's searches. It would show every search a user had ever made, and we know Google keeps as much data as it can get its hands on, so that information nowadays would be way more than AOL kept. Most people at one time or another has googled themselves. Now to that add all the searches you've ever made. I recommend anyone who is concerned about online security/privacy use a VPN and rather than using google directly to search, use an anonymized untracked proxy search engine like [URL]https://www.startpage.com/[/URL] That search engine submits your searches to google for you, keeps ZERO logs of your searches and doesn't give google your info when sending the search. When you use the internet, use Mozilla Firefox and set it to not keep any search history and to delete temporary internet files when you close your browser session. A great, easy to use VPN for privacy is [URL]https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/[/URL] If you go to their page, scroll all the way to the bottom and read all the items under "Why" you'll soon see what I'm talking about.
