Yo, thanks for all the replies! Definitely less freaked out now.
Didn’t realize how much of it was just location stuff. Gonna try out ProtonVPN since a few of you mentioned it, especially for public wifi.
One follow-up—if I reset my router, does that change my IP? Or is that a myth?
Also, anyone know if iPhone’s "Private Relay" does the same thing as a VPN?
Appreciate the help! 🙏
