To be clear; there are many shady VPNs—especially the "free" ones—but if this becomes law, house wifi should be treated like hotel wifi.

Yes; it is not law yet. (Also, the content of your https connection not visible to ISP but the site is). https://twitter.com/localraviOli/status/844979417181044737 …

Indeed; I am hoping someone (

So, the law passed. For VPNs recs: the three I heard most about were:
@getcloak@theTunnelBear (PAID) and@FreedomeVPN. Don't use free ones.13 replies 132 retweets 193 likes -

Unfortunately, none of them are audited. Many VPNs are scams—a huge privacy risk. Making recs based on best available but incomplete info.

Going entirely by memory, I think I read a few days ago that Cloak was audited (a long time ago). Not 100% sure though.

I think they meant to but their FAQ is not updated. https://support.getcloak.com/faq/technology/
