I'm being super dramatic, even if it takes 1 hour the last thing I want is yet another server login floating around. If I were doing some serious stuff, I would do it, but I really use a VPN only when I'm at coffee shops and stuff to prevent random nonsense. I use a VPN to completely hide my tracks etc. With that said, I don't want my data to be sold to tensornet or whatever that crap company is called

oh that makes sense. my apologies, I am not particularly good at picking up on subtext on the internet. I personally don't really use a VPN at all, no particular need to since I personally believe that online privacy is an illusion that the government and corporations created to have a problem they could market a solution for. Perhaps a little tinfoil hat-y but I'm entirely convinced that there's no amount of encryption or misdirection that nation state level intelligence agencies with absurdly high budgets (and likely the collaboration of other intelligence agencies) could not reverse engineer or work around.

Well, I don't really disagree with you there :) I don't think encryption has been "cracked" but I also have no idea what entities haven't been exposed
