    Default DO VPNS actually help with safety?

    I'm paranoid about safety and preventing doxxing/stalkers, but don't use a VPN...do any of you use a VPN and does it realistically help with internet safety as far as stalking and stuff goes? Which do you recommend? Thanks!

    If you are paranoid I would highly recommend using a VPN. I don't use it when I'm logged into big box sites like Streamate as I don't think guys would have access to your IP anyway, plus I don't think the sites want you using one; but I definitely use it for Skype and Gmail. I use ExpressVPN, haven't tried others to compare but I like it. It's simple to use, not too expensive, gets a lot of positive reviews, and hasn't given me any issues.

    Edit: Two more pieces of advice: if you're worried about being doxxed, try to geoblock areas where you live or where people know you. I feel like I'm less likely to be doxxed by a random customer who digs up info on me, and way more likely for some asshole I went to high school with finding me and anonymously blasting me during free chat or something.

    And, maybe other girls won't agree, but I would never lead guys on in a way that makes them believe you might actually meet them one day. That is a surefire way to get obsessive stalker types. Be firm with your boundaries.
