Protecting your privacy following changes to online privacy law

From [personal profile] ninja007:
Since they've decided they're going to sell our internet web browsing history and IP addresses to the highest bidder, a friend suggested we start using VPNs.

Here's an excellent link: https://qz.com/945261/how-to-get-a-personal-vpn-and-why-you-need-one-now/
If you already use a VPN, feel free to share your experiences of it in the comments. (There's a link buried in the middle of the article linked above -- which really is excellent! -- that compares VPN providers on a number of measures: https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-comparison-chart/)

i've just gotten one [pia], and so far so good? but some glitches like target.com won't let you on their site until you turn the vpn off. netflix likewise. randomly i cannot log into okcupid.com unless i turn it off as well.
so that's frustrating, but its a small thing.
