Sure I am, but they're a VPN service with a long history of protecting users from snooping. And they don't do business from the jurisdiction that I'm subject to. So targeted surveillance would be harder. Not impossible, of course, by major national intelligence organizations. But hey.

Also, I dont rely on just the one VPN service. I use nested chains of VPNs, and so distribute trust among multiple providers. Doing business from different jurisdictions. Just as Tor does with three-relay circuits. Sometimes I use private VPNs running on anonymously leased VPS.

Finally, each of my personas uses a different nested VPN chain, or Tor (Whonix) through other nested VPN chains. So linking my various personas would be nontrivial.
