If you ever worked in China or with Chinese, or in a library, airport, coffee shop, etc. you really want the VPN. $99 a year is nothing compared to losing your work or your identity. (unsolicited testimonial for ExpressVPN--it's simple to use protection.

Subject: To VPN?
I don't like the news out of Washington about internet privacy restrictions being relaxed in favor of ISPs. This isn't any good.
The *Washington Post* article suggested using a VPN. I like that idea, and my research suggests that some open source software running on an inexpensive Raspberry Pi would help. (I can't see paying an outfit like ExpressVPN $99.95 a year for their service.)
