Change your passwords AFTER reseting your PC. Otherwise the hacker could gain access to your new passwords.

What happens if the Swiss government orders the VPN compagny to log the IP of your account? VPN also allows for cross site fingerprinting so your identity can be correlated between sites.

I agree that vpns are fine for most people and use cases but is that a reason to lie by saying they make you anonymous? Vpns don’t make you anonymous. That is a fact, why not say it? Besides, VPNs are constantly shilled so I am not worried about their popularity. Tor or I2p make you anonymous, if you want to be anonymous, use them. For torrenting or bypassing geoblock, vpns are good.
