VPNs like NordVPN for almost everyone.
Your ISP selling your browsing data is the hacker.
Who do you trust more? Your isp, or a random vpn Company that not only own one vpn-service, but surprisingly many. (Nord security owns NordVPN and Surfshark, Kape owns ExpressVPN and Cyberghost). And wouldn't it be need if you, as NSA, would have a direct connection to the data people concerned with there privacy? It's not like their "no log" policy really exists if the have to write logs by law.
A VPN sure. I'm not sure about Nord.
But if you don't use a VPN with military grade encryption hackers can steal your money from the banking website that only uses military grade encryption!
So your saying I should keep an eye on the War Thunder forums?
Considering Nord (and most VPNs, especially the ones that advertise themselves) are all owned by one company, who has a huge conflict of interest (they're an ad company) with VPNs to begin with.
