Much of your traffic is probably passing through Hurricane Electric servers already, given their position on the backbone (https://he.net).

It's true that HE is a backbone but there is an enormous difference between having bits of your traffic transiting a firehose and sending your entire session thru someone's endpoint.
The latter is much more comprehensive and identifiable.
This isn't to throw shade at HE; I don't recall any complaints about their integrity. It's just to say HE's tunnel is in a practical position to monitor, should they choose or be compelled.

Traceroute to various websites. You'll see that the IPs on the pathway are owned by companies that are neither you nor the guy you're accessing. It's how the Internet works at the network layer. You may find that some people are on every path. Your carrier, certainly, but often the first provider they're connected to.

Yes, didn't knew that this was a backbone.
You'll see that the IPs on the pathway are owned by companies that are neither you nor the guy you're accessing. Yes, but you shouldn't add another one you didn't know (e.g. free vpn).
This is a big deal, for just getting access to ipv6.
