If you pay for icloud, there’s a button in iOS that tunnels everything over a tor-wannabe vpn.

There’s no real reason to trust wifi access points at this point, or demand they be trustworthy.

iCloud tunnel is so slow it’s unusable. And ISP can turn it off at will without your knowledge.

What are you talking about? It’s not slow at all.

Correlating sizes of data sent/received and precision timestamps is already huge intelligence. And the more entry/exit points you can tap on -- the better it becomes.
