--> https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ I got that year's worth at a discounted rate of $31.95 thanks to an offer from PCMag online, which was where I read some of the information and reviews regarding vpn providers.
Right now, this is where the Internet thinks I'm located...

Sneaky, huh?
There are a couple downsides that I'm seeing, though. There is a slowdown of speeds due to the encryption and the bouncing around servers here and there, but it's not really noticeable when just surfing. I only see the diminishing speeds when I use a speed test website of some sort. There may be ways to tweak that, though. I have an active ticket with PIA support right now regarding this.
The other noticeable thing is that all my email servers are freaking out (Google, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.) because they all think my accounts have been hacked by some bloke in Arizona. HA!

The reason this is happening is because, unlike TOR, that only affects the browser's connection to the Internet via the TOR proxy, this vpn service operates on the Internet side of my router, so ALL connections on my computer are routed to the vpn. Everything leaving my local home network is encrypted and then send directly to the exit server. At that point the packets are decrypted and sent out with the exit server's information, as you see by the IP address above that shows I'm in Arizona.

Cool, huh? Well, we'll see how it works out in the next year, I s'pose. I have buyer's remorse big time, though, because I could use that $32 elsewhere for more practical things like meds, cat food, etc.
