You’re asking the right questions.

VPNs aren’t much safer. You’re putting your trust in a vpn company instead of an isp. If the vpn company is compromised (such as with Pia) then you’re no better off than if you’d not used the vpn. Tor isn’t that much safer these days since the nsa runs Tor exit nodes. Best bet is a no logging vpn. Though you’re again putting your trust in them that they actually don’t log. Whether or not they do is only known to them.

While we’re recommending/not recommending vpns, don’t use PIA. they WERE the go to. But they’re owned by an American company now and based there.

i thought there was gonna be some LGBTQI stuff here when i read “pride” versioning.

I just spent $15 on an app to play my music from my navidrome, because I use it so much. I could have gone to another app (potentially free), but I like this one so much that i gave them their $15 for their hard work. For anyone interested, it’s Nautaline on iOS.
