how would you set this up ? what VPN to use ?
very good explained, understood, thanks.
There are many good VPN providers out there, but you should know that a VPN is centralized and have the ability to log your activity. its not a huge worry for most people but need to be aware.
If someone is in control of the TOR nodes, hes still able to see what you are doing, for example the recent events with KAX17.
It depends on the government. VPN is in general useless but Tor might be fine if you are using it against some non 14 eyes country.
Agreed.
What about Proton VPN? (ProtonVPN: Secure and Free VPN service for protecting your privacy) I have no personal experience with it; but ProtonMail is working really well (personal experience).
Avoid Proton VPN and their email service as well. I would not trust them anymore and actually I never did. They lost all their credit and what they have been known for. In the anonymity privacy groups they failed big time with what happened this year. Google it and you will know what I mean. Good place to start are these two channles Techlore or Privacy X on youtube. The latter one has a video about it just 9 days ago. Things keep changing very fast with this stuff so you need to be alert. Pick a VPN which is based outside of the 14 eye countries, best in any offshore location with servers offshore and ofcourse never those which are for free. A VPN is just one step or layer of your privacy. There are many more and you can find out more on those two channels as a starting point.

Looks very interesting as first impression mainly because Residential IPs are being used and it works like a TOR+VPN in one product, peer to peer decentralised network and without logs due to the nature of the project. The speed and reliability could be a question mark though.What about Mysterium? Any experiences?
Open Web Protocol - Mysterium Network
An open-source ecosystem of protocols, tools and infrastructure to liberate the web. Our node network empowers both builders and users to access free information.
Uhm. Really interesting. Thanks for alert; I will check the channels mentioned ASAP. Honestly, I trusted the guys from Proton until now (perhaps I should mention that I knew something about people in CERN in the past).
I do not see any reason not to trust Protonmail.
).Exactly the opposite, I do see a reason why not just not to trust Proton, but not to use them at all. You mentioned second best email provider, but we are talking about VPN provider, not email provider. And when you see the video from Privaxy X what says the headline? It has a reason. To get back to topic and about VPN, again there are a lot of reasons why not to trust them anymore and Privacy X put it as the second worst VPN, or at least the second worst grading. HereI do not see any reason not to trust Protonmail.
They publish transparency reports on a regular basis and if they really have a problem, for sure you could read it in some press releases.
Also in the recent youtube video from Privacy X, Protonmail is the second best email provider.
Ok, if you are a terrorist, maybe you should not choose Protonmail, but if you are an average guy, I think Protonmail is still a good choice.
In this thread @RexS9999 wants to hide his internet traffic from his company. He does not plan to kill the Queen (I hope
So ProtonVPN is still a good choice, I think.
They say that they can not disclose ProtonVPN customer IP addresses even if asked to, however they can for Protonmail. If you know that you may be investigated, you would be stupid not to use tor full time while registering/using Protonmail. This is privacy 101! Companies all over the world can be forced to give your IP no matter what jurisdiction, it doesn't even have to be them, it can be their server provider, ISP who are not so keen on fighting the authorities in court.
- traffic is encrypted even without VPN
