    This is a great reason to smudge your digital fingerprint.

    I’m pretty confident my paid VPN pays for itself every month in my not being over charged quite as badly.

        How exactly would a VPN prevent this?

        VPN masks your IP of origin.

        You need to block cookies and use private browsing, by default, as well.

        Also, sacrifice two chickens under a full moon, ever fortnight. Though I’m not convinced that’s not just something Doug is into, now that I think about it.

        It doesn’t make you anonymous.

        The chicken thing does. At least, it certainly works for Doug.
