your analogy is off. and the suggestion to use VPN is outright counterproductive.
people close the bathroom door when they poop. I guess they also close the door when they whatch porn.
using a vpn is akin to (car analogy time) trying to using a rental car while in public. you actually expose yourself to the rental company, who might be shadier than the people at the place you're showing up at, who can still see you trhu the window (analogy for your 3rd party cookies)
- mlthoughts2018 7y ago“might be shadier” is a big part of it... many vpn services are fairly well vetted and it’s known they don’t maintain traffic logs, in addition to staking their whole business reputation on a malicious lie if even a whiff became public, with lots of media & security scrutiny Just like with many car rebtal companies.. very trustworthy and staking their reuptation on not renting you a car that breaks down, etc.
- ggg3 7y agoeven if thats is true, and let's assume it is, you are adding yet another bunch of ISP, networks, nation states laws into the original mix. That might not work out in your favour. not to mention people. no matter how reputable the car renter is, it is still hiring a minimum wage clerk who will handle all your documents and credit card. my little research suggests the opposite
- mlthoughts2018 7y agoThis doesn’t make sense to me at all. Can you clarify what point this is intended to make?
- ggg3 7y agoyou do not trust layer X. so you add layer A, B, C, Y and Z. none have more merits to be more trustworthy than X. You are downgrading your total network trust by adding vpns you do not control fully.
