  But... you're not connected to all of them. At least it seems.

Google VPN

- Almost an oxymoron at this point but it's free with a Pixel phone so I had to at least try it and see how bad it is. Privacy issues aside... it's down all the damn time.

Sometimes, sticking to just one or two apps might be better. I was thinking of posting this 2019 article about Private Internet Access, but decided against it because it was a little outdated and somewhat well-known... But a comment can't hurt, right?

Kape Technologies was originally found under the name of Crossrider in 2011 developing advertising apps until they changed their name in 2018. However, their software was treated as malware by companies such as Malwarebytes and Symantec begging one to ask, how can such a company despite rebranding itself change the shoddy culture that it had?

But the connections don’t end there. The very first CEO of Crossrider, Koby Menachemi, happened to be once a part of Unit 8200 which is an Israeli Intelligence Unit in their military and has also been dubbed as “Israel’s NSA “. Teddy Sagi, one of the company’s investors was mentioned in the Panama Papers which were leaked in 2016.

- I agree. PIA is the only one I actually paid for and the one I've used the least. They're only still on the list because I bought a 5 year block of time over 4 years ago when they had some big black Friday deal, so their app will soon be uninstalled. The rest are free or trials that I've been evaluating for performance. Thanks for the article, though.

  I was in the same boat as you, I bought it before they sold out... But obviously you can't return it at that point

- TIL. I've been using PIA for years, looks like I'm going to cancel now.

Is that Lineage os 21?

- Just the stock Pixel 7 ROM, sadly. I'm testing Graphene on my Pixel 6 and probably installing it on the 7 soon. There's no actual privacy in this shitpost of a screenshot.

You should use spottube it doesn't require an account. Right now even if you switch VPN Spotify will know it is still you since you logged in.

- I am sure OP knows what logging in means...
  
  Maybe they aren't just that paranoid.
  
  That must be exhausting.
