I have been using it for more than a week and now am worried about the consequences that I am not sure are true or not!
I am worried that by allowing random users to surf using my network to prevent surveillance, someone will use my address to do malicious things, and I will get into legal consequences. Also, what if many services blacklist my IP address so eventually I get a lot of restrictions in my browing experience.
Furthermore, will this extension increase my fingerprint?
Are these thoughts valid, or am I just overthinking? If anyone knows, please comment.
VPNs are commonly used by all kinds of people for mundane things. any kind of darknet kind of stuff is often associated with illegal activity and will be seen as suspicious by your internet provider
again, it can't just be any VPN, Proton, Mullvad, Nym...and maybe iVPN if you don't care about the number of locations you can connect through.
you also want to have a few other things open. Anything that makes additional noise in the connection. Even if you use Mullvad's Daita feature, it's good to have some extra noise being made while darknet-stuff is being used
oh...I skipped over the primary purpose. If they give you the third degree about using a VPN just say that you use it to keep yourself safe from crazy people online. You can't play that plausible deniability card with things like snowflake and Tor, but you can with a VPN that's available to average consumers
