Unless you're living a North Korea or Iran, I think there's no reason why the average Joe needs anything more than a VPN.

There's a use case for Tor and the likes, but in my mind 99.5% of the people who think they need it are criminals or extremists.

No offense meant, but that seems to be a bit of an extremist and borderline authoritarian posistion itself. "You don't need privacy if you have nothing to hide" right?
