Came across this controversial link where someone says that a VPS would be more secure than a VPN provider. From my understanding:

-Wouldn’t the VPS provider just see everything instead of a VPN provider? -Wouldn’t fingerprinting be straightforward, even if you use a hardened browser, since you have a single IP traceable directly to only one user?

ytcombinator doesn’t seem to take it seriously but I’m curious to hear what you all think about it.

    These days I was thinking about what you just wrote. I use iOS as mobile and Mullvad vpn. But few days ago I just log out and started to use just Nextdns and orbot for surfing in site like Amazon. My question as been: is it useful to use a vpn in Apple ecosystem in which they know my identity?

    What do you think about that? Using https connections (no vpn but just nextdns) make my surfing less vulnerable from isp eyes?

    Thank you
