Are VPN good for privacy today, should we used them to protect our privacy?

Not free, none have all advantages and wouldn’t let my ISP only know my traffic so these times I’m really overwhelmed by all of this

Used Tor for a bit but it’s not practically useful, slow (okay but not the main problem) and blocked by a lot of websites…

Maybe a chain of VPN could be good? I really don’t know, can you help me?

Basically I don’t want to have no protection but don’t think VPNs are really the solution…

PS: maybe a rented machine with self hosted like VPN could be good?

    not working quite that well on my end. no matter how popular torrent, mine won’t seed at all. and i can’t download some rare ones where there’s like less than 50 seeds.

      What OS are you using? App? If you’re using qbittorent make sure you have selected tun in advanced -> network interface
