With the passing of S.J.Res.34 - A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Federal Communications Commission relating to "Protecting the Privacy of Customers of Broadband and Other Telecommunications Services", we need to protect our privacy now more than ever.

I agree it is good to know how to set up/use a VPN but I wouldn't recommend people that don't have a good understanding to go and download a tor browser.. Just me maybe..
