Opinions on TunnelBear
| Ehh ltt switched to private internet access because tunnelbesr were bought by McAfee
| LTT?
| Ask yourself why you need a VPN first and more importantly what one effectively does. If you think it's a magic one click button solution for privacy, it's not. If you're frequently on insecure WiFi hotspots then it makes sense. But you're not going to be any more anonymous or private if you're still going to use Facebook/Google/other botnets. Don't buy into the muh privacy advertising too much. The best solutions are still free in both senses (Tor, I2P, etc).
| I won't say it would be worth buying when there are other options that are free or cheaper. But like the above said, you want to make sure you have a good enough reason to get one.
| OP here.

Using Facebook or Googlenet's YouTube or Gmail while trying to cover myself would be silly indeed.
Generally I am a curious person that wants to learn the web and cyber security. And would rather not have the Big Brother watch
and consider me an untrustworthy person on gov's special list.
| >>269503 Just use Tor for everything you do and you'll be fine... don't search for pentesting stuff only. The best way to cover your data is by producing a shitton of it. ^^

That's excellent attitude to have in general. Unfortunately most people don't think that way.

| >>269584 I only use tor for cp, but other than that I don't think it's really needed if you don't use any Google or Facebook bullshit
| Really everyone should be using tor, since more users provides more security. The Us navy deployed it publicly with that in mind after all.
| Tor is good
| Everyone suggesting Tor, keep in mind that if you use an unencrypted protocol (like plain HTTP) over it, you can be MITM'd, so it probably makes things worse. So be sure to only send (or receive) sensitive data over HTTPS or use a .onion site (in which case the connection is encrypted by the Tor protocol itself).
