    Interesting. Privacy is a hard sell, but for a company of Apple proportions this might serve as a good PR. It is probably one of the firstly skipped features when building a product.

    If you are deciding for a VPN, you must pay for one - otherwise the provider has zero incentive to offer you privacy. I use a paid service and I am very satisfied, because in combination with Brave a lot less ads are shown, I can test web services from different countries and I know nobody is sneaking on me (even if I search for simple symptoms, I wonder what my insurance company might know). What I sometimes dislike is that I cannot click commercial links (i.e. first three links on Google Search results) and that some stuff does not work if enabled - such as connecting YouTube to Samsung TV, connecting Spotify to Spotify enabled radio etc.

    Use trusted VPN providers. My next one (I have subscription for another one currently) is definitely ProtonVPN.

    Interesting. I've considered getting VPN service in the past, but never pulled the trigger because so many VPN providers are so sketchy. If Apple did VPN, that would be a lot more trustworthy from my perspective.
