Hi,
I am not very versed in VPN or the inner working of net traffic but being the "paranoid, suspicious, and avid privacy nut" that I am I have found that it is next to impossible too be "anonymous" while online. Almost every website logs your IP which is directly tied to you via your ISP which has your name and address etc. Even if you can conceal your IP you also have a mac address which is not changable and is like a model # direct tied to the machine and ultimately you. Facebook and other social networking sites are harvesting and even selling that user info for BIG profits. Phones are another NO Privacy" area. Your phone again tied to you and knows exactly ( roughly) where you are, who you are. and if you use " yahoo mail" or "Gmail". Face book or twiitter or both. I would not even have any of the newer phones becuz as they are getting smarter and more "sync=able" to facebook and other things they are also now more vunerable.
Only real way to stay private is to start from the beginng. Use a bogus name for facebook and your mail accounts. Encrypt all mail sent and recieved. NEVER use your phone for private communication. never use blue tooth ( easily hackable).
I have all my impportant "money files" P-word protected AND encrytpted AND I dont store them on my laptop. I also dont name them what they are, ie Bank info or Money. I have them named things like "Dinner recipes" Breakfast entrees".
However if you do find a safer way I am truly interested as I have always been concerned with Privacy and it,s ever dwindling presence lol.
Good luck, Hope this wasnt to rambling
