I don't like the government or who ever deciding what information I can, or can not see.

never given proton my personal info. just an email address.
but yeah, VPNs sound intimidating, especially if your only experience with them is from years and years ago when they were a probably a lot harder to set up.
Maybe, but it works, and it's a good toe-in-the-pond for beginners, plus they're the only ones I know of for whom "free" actually means free and not "free for 30 min.(or whatever) then we want you to pay for it."
All I know is they keep my isp from blocking tethering, lmao
well, when I started looking into the stuff the first time, it was hard to find websites that could explain it in a way that was straightforward and not jargon-heavy.
Also, keep in mind how many companies business model depends on being able to track everything about you across multiple websites, dmv records, etc. Then you get into the NSA scandals, etc, and you start to understand there's probably a lot of effort put into scaring newbies away from using any kind of vpn.
I agree it's not hard at all to set up these days, but I can understand why some people might hesitate, lol.
