https://thatoneprivacysite.net
You post was read and appreciated and is helping me decide, thanks! This guy (privacysite) has done a mind-boggling level of research, as well. He might should be running an IT security firm.
If you really care about these things, then go to the VPN section of wilderssecurity.org - they are pretty much the no.1 publicly accessible security site on the net. No one will argue with that.
From there, you can see what VPNs the real security experts use - it's all public knowledge - it just takes time.
But no, you won't go wrong on that one privacy site. But please, if you want an authoritative second opinion, the Wilders is your boy. Anti-Virus, Virtual Machines.
Oh, we haven't talked about Virtual Machines. And I think we should. A vital second shield in a multi-layered defense - whether you want to protect your computer from ransomware, or just surf the web with even more anonymity than you have now.
If you are interested in infosec you have to use VPN, Tor (even with its drawbacks it has its place), and Virtual Machines.
Someone needs to make a thread about Virtual Machines. It's a long involved subject, but not too difficult to get in to if you have someone to hold your hand. I can get you up to speed quite quickly if you like. It's free as well with programs like Virtual Box.
And the Virtual Machines section on Wilders is second to none with what you can pick up. The virtual box forum is like a linux forum - they do not suffer fools - and everyone who is not them is a fool - bunch of spergs - but Wilders is much more 'user friendly' shall we say.
VPNs and VMs go together like strawberries and cream, bacon and brown sauce, er, there's still someone knocking on my door, brb...
