I know basically what a VPN is from work, but saw this and am wondering whether it's worth it
and exactly what it accomplishes.
Buy VPN | Private Internet Access VPN Service
First, does it really accomplish anything other than blocking
tracking etc?
Would like to know if all my present Firefox security add-ons
are still necessary, such as NoScript, Better Privacy, the various
Ad Blockers, etc, and the no-tracking things like Ghostery,
Google Privacy, DoNotTrackMe, etc.
I like the protection but those apps can slow things down,
and having to temporarily allow this or that also gets frustrating
over time.
And are the anti virus and malware apps still needed?
Last, I'd like to keep XP but with MS not supporting it any
longer, was wondering if a VPN like the above would help
in any way to lessen the dangers.
Thanks!
