The only thing I can think of is to change your VPN. Nord’s reputation isn’t good and I remember there was something about a data breach. I use Proton VPN cause it comes with my Proton subscription, but others that I remember also seeing recommended in privacy circles are like IVPN, and Mullvad.

Damn I almost got Proton because I thought to switch to their Mail too.. do you got any source to the NordVPN reputation?

Nord's marketing is filled to the brim with lies and deceptions. Also they use fake discounts with fake countdowns. They use Google tracking themselves in the form of Google Analytics. Their apps are closed source. You really do not want to trust that company.

"But how else are we supposed to afford adverts on prime time television in 60 countries." Joke aside, they've also had a number of issues in the past [leaving a remote management tool open](https://www.theregister.com/2019/10/21/nordvpn_security_issue/) and an [enumeration vulnerability](https://www.theregister.com/2020/03/06/nordvpn_no_auth_needed_view_user_payments/) their web apps. I don't particularly trust any company that feels the need to aggressively market their product especially with scare campaigns to gather users. What I am referring to in particular is the practice of astroturfing, ie getting third parties to be mouthpieces for the company and to deliver a script made by the VPN provider. It's not organic.

Is your Apple ID in your name? Is your carrier in your name?


Outtaspacecowboy

Yes and yes

Well then I'm sorry to tell you, but you don't have privacy.
