Better yet, save your money and use Tails OS.
Use Tails OS in VMware or VirtualBox
Tails OS - https://tails.boum.org/
Virtualbox - https://www.virtualbox.org/
Install Virtualbox
Download the Tails OS ISO image Setup a new VM and call it Tails OS or similar No Hard Drive needed (you run Tails OS as Live CD) * You can setup a hard drive for TrueCrypt Storage though) Under Storage, look for the Optical Drive. In the far right, click on the CD Icon and point it to the ISO. Boot the Tails OS
You should now be working with TAILS OS in your VM.
To Power down you can save machine state. This makes it easy to resume what you were working on with out having to reboot.
Update Tails OS periodically by repointing to the new ISO under Storage > Optical Drive.
The above method is especially recommended if you are leaking sensitive information that could get you killed if you are doxxed (Human trafficking info at your work for example).

Epic Browser is excellent. Its a lot like chrome but is a privacy browser with a built in VPN. You can choose from 5 or 6 different IP's from 5 countries. I donate a couple of bucks every once in awhile to support the project.

Why would anyone in the USA need a VPN? Genuinely curious. We aren't doing anything illegal here. If I was doxxed I really wouldn't care. What am I trying to hide? I'm just trying to save our country from child killing vampires...
Now if you live in the EU, a VPN is an absolute necessity, as the police will actually arrest you for wrongthink there.

I use a VPN, FireFox, DuckDuckGo, and an anonymous email account. I use a random alphanumeric/special character generator for passwords and a random alphanumeric generator for user names. I never repeat user names. Not sure what else I can do.
