This is an old video from 2019. You can view his newer videos on updated methods and options, but the concept behind his approach has remained the same: compartmentalize your online identity. You don't want your email provider to also be your search engine provider, and you don't want Facebook and google to track your every move online. The best way to beat this is to compartmentalize. Divide your online sections, and make sure these sections don't know what the other section is doing. Doing this in addition to a VPN will help you maintain anonymity on the internet. Also, don't use a VPN based in one of the five eyes alliance nations otherwise there's going to be a backdoor into that VPN down the road if the Government ever needs anything from them.

I figured most of this was common knowledge. But, if you are connected online at all then you can be tracked/traced etc. unless you have the right skill set and even then it’s difficult, if someone really wanted to come after you that possessed the power and the tools. On the other hand, at the end of the day it likely don’t matter cause if the behemoth wanted you they could just as easy fabricate, especially in the current times. I guess what I’m trying to say is, do you worry about it and when should you or have we already surpassed that? I don’t think most people have anything to worry about unless you are just trying to evade people selling your data. Or maybe I’m looking at this all wrong? Hint, the best way, get away from tech. Don’t use a computer, don’t take your phone with you everywhere and so on. Damn near everything is spying on you three days from your car to your watch to your phone, all the cameras you pass daily and on and on. How deep you want to go? Literally the only way to remain completely anonymous is to get off the grid, period.
Vyprvpn and proton are good vpn's. They come from Switzerland, a country with strict privacy laws.
The only "good" VPNs are the ones which do not require an account and do not log information.
That used to be Mullvad VPN. Proton/Nord/etc require accounts.
The only actual private route would be Mullvad VPN and paying with Monero.

Well, for background I punch the time clock from 5am to 2pm every day for the last 20 years at a cop shop as a "computer guy". Most of you know that already. I started doing "computer" stuff in 1980, with just a short time off to turn wrenches for a living at several new car dealers. I run a VPN at the office.
In a nutshell what a VPN does is make your computer think it is someplace else. In an office type setting usually it is for remote users accessing office "programs", in my case Patrol cars. That is it.
The biggest lie around VPN is the anonymous nature of the VPN. The site you are going to may or may not know the traffic is coming from your computer, but the VPN sure as hell does, and it know just where you are going, how long you are there and likely just what porn you spanked it to. You are living in dream world if you think these VPN companies do not respond to subpoenas. In my setting I can tell just who was doing what and for how long, what searches are made, what sites visited, and what videos are watched.
IMHO if you want to be as anonymous as possible get your internet from a small company, there are very little regs around what has to be kept and how long, this will vary from state to state.
The only thing I can think of a VPN being useful for is if a ball game is not available in your area, or some TV or Movie is not available in your area. For example, Netflix in europe may have a program on it that is not on Netflix in the US. But........
The VPN knows where you are and where you are going, it can also block those sites. There are also lists of "known" VPN hosts that can be blocked at firewalls, along with source countries.
If using public WiFi, Personally I never do. Your VPN will not keep you safe, your traffic to the VPN is over that public WiFi and your machine on that wifi is likely to be hit by someone else on the same network.
If you find yourself out a great deal and "have" to use it, get your self a cell connection, many laptops have slots for SIM cards from the big players.
Waste of money IMHO.
