[dba-Tech] VPN

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Rocky

If you use the Google DNS servers (8.8.8.8) - which many do for reasons I yet have to understand - Google knows all (as in all) about your browsing.

So, use the DNS of your ISP and use Edge with an In Private session for a start.

Save your money until you know a reason for spending them.

I'm getting nagged by Avast to use their VPN.  I'm seeing more ads and buzz
about VPNs.  I'm not sure I have anything to hide, but the intrusiveness of
Google and Microsoft make me want to anonymize myself.

But IIUC, my VPN provider still knows everything I do, yes?  So aren't I
just switching several repositories of my on-line activity to one specific
vendor whom I will have to trust?
