I want to create a few internet alter egos, one for shopping, one for communicating with family, and one for communicating with friends. My goal is to make these accounts the least trackable to advertisers and political parties.
Unfortunately, I don’t even know where to start.
I feel kinda silly about not using browser containers before.
Do you recommended any specific VPNs?
Mullvad VPN. It has options to block ads, tracking, social media through their DNS.
You won’t see this VPN mentioned in any of those “best 10”-lists as those are mostly marketing.
AirVPN is good too, they still have port forwarding but afaik no DNS blocking.
Don’t believe me on my word, search Lemmy or Reddit for Mullvad.
There are a lot of VPNs and a lot of opinions, so hard to recommend specific ones. There was a site I used a while back with a quiz that helped suggest VPNs, I think it was https://www.vpntierlist.com/ but I’m not sure. I seriously looked into ProtonVPN by whatever site it was’ recommendation, but I ended up just renewing NordVPN, which I was already using, because of a special offer I got for ending my subscription in the first place due to privacy concerns. In the end, despite NordVPN having some potentially fishy business connections, it still suits my general needs, and with their various discounts feels like good value to me at least.
