VPN plus incognito (private) browser window is easier than tor and roughly same protection level. That is for general use, not for hardcore anonymity.

- dredmorbius 5y agoHistory's shown that for numerous VPN providers that's not the case. Chief value of (public/general) VPNs seems to be 1) accessing region-zoned content or 2) protection against local-segment interception. The benefit of 2) is balanced against the fairly strong probability that the VPN provider itself is heavily surveilled or actively aiding in monitoring activities.
- qualudeheart 5y agoWith some vpn providers you can look them up in court records to see if there are any mentions of them keeping logs.
- xxs 5y agoThose youtube ads sure helped the VPN popularity. There is absolutely no reason to believe VPNs are even remotely secure.
