It would be a headache to use VPN and Proxy. + another cost...
I use thor for buying my test cyp now, that's it.
and I don't think Im important or influentual enough to be monitored so I don't care. The goverment don't have recourses to have people monitoring every random person.
Also I think forums like getbig is such a small platform that they don't care. They focus on big platforms like facebook, "X" and what not. And those platforms has AI for filtering trigger words etc.
The one thing that sucks about VPN is Google usually doesn't play nice. You get a captcha and they make sure to make it a pain and many captchas prompts before you can start searching. Love or hate Google, they still provide the most accurate results for some topics. Bing doesn't do this and I often default to Bing when connected via VPN. Once in a while Google will play nice.
Google won't have issues if you are logged in with your gmail account on their site while connected to VPN. They know who you are then and can track you. If that email account was created via a VPN connection and never accessed without a VPN you should be ok. But any searches you made can be linked to that account.
I also have to close out Outlook because Google will flag your email accounts when you access them via VPN and Outlook. Sometimes you have to then unlock the accounts.
