I found this to be an interesting watch in layering security/ privacy rather than throwing the hail mary at a VPN and expecting it to keep you anonymous.

VPN providers oversell their product.

Sure. Because the average joe schmoe really doesn’t grasp the complexities of networking. I admit fully, I do not know all there is. But the average joe schmoe could almost be forgiven for their ignorance. As I mentioned, shit’s complicated. You have an individual who works 5 days or more a week. They come home tired and exhausted, try to have a few moments of family time. On the weekends, time is spent catching up on chores and involvement with their family.

So, they really don’t have the time to read the unix manual, much less understand it because…shit’s complicated. So they place trust in companies that may or may not have their best interests at heart. We have the secret knowledge because we’re geeks and nerds. LOL I tell everyone I come in contact with, I am an expert at nothing. However, I am more than happy to freely share any knowledge I’ve gained along the way. It is my desire that all my friends and acquaintances use their technology in the most private, secure, and anonymous way possible.
