In thinking about this more, I realize that the moment I pay for a VPN, I have lost the totally anonymous aspect of a stand-alone VPN. I will continue to use my free browser-only VPN (HotSpot on Chrome and/or Opera's built-in VPN) to surf the web. That way, I never need to have my mail access affected (and because I only use mail apps and do not access mail through a web app).

The downside, of course, is often an inability to legally stream sports (say, ESPN3) when my VPN connection shows an out-of-country IP address[B]. If anyone can figure out how to use a free VPN connection to legally stream sports content that I actually pay for (through my cable company), however, I would be very interested.[/B]

Thanks for making me check all my systems again; a routine privacy check-up is always a good idea.  For those of you who may be on the fence, here's a good article and easy instructions for non-tech-savvy folks (from last year):  [URL='https://medium.freecodecamp.org/how-to-set-up-a-vpn-in-5-minutes-for-free-and-why-you-urgently-need-one-d5cdba361907']LINK[/URL]
