I look up VPNs on the privacy reddit or lemmy. Some vpns are good, usually the paid ones. The free ones are certainly selling your shit.

It’s just software you install and click the on toggle with.

$10 a month subscription last time I used one.

No subscription fee yet. Enshittification hits everything eventually.

you can use a light socket to plug adapter and plug it in like normal

i have mine saved on a local file filled with a lot of other unlabeled random shit
