Even with a VPN, your processor is running a parallel OS.

Intel ME and PSP.

You need to get a librebooted laptop.

Only bother with VPNs at all if you need to conceal traffic from your real ISP, *conceal traffic traversing your network or if you want to prevent websites from knowing your real public IP address. Everything else VPN companies try to sell you on is pretty much bullshit. In the end, you're just shifting the realm of trust over to a third party.

You're forgetting security when using an unsecured network.

Your own. You can only trust it as far as you can trust their promises. There is no way to be sure. There is no incentive to not defect by keeping logs and selling them or handing them over, even long after the fact.

The ugly truth is there are only two categories of VPNs: those which are known untrustworthy and those which are unknown.

@lemon11 is correct that the only way to know is if you own it.
