I've appreciated your arguments so far, but how does "only needing a VPN" qualify as easy?

I live outside China and I am baffled about how you get a VPN that you trust. A VPN is a third-party who shields you and that you trust.

Everyone on HN recommends Mullvad because of their track record. Do you know that Mullvad is not compromised?

If you lived in China, how would you find a VPN that you trust?

I didn’t live in China, but lived in a Middle Eastern county where the vanilla internet is monitored.

The locals know what to use. Also, you don’t need a non-monitored VPN. Just one that’s not monitored by your own government.
