    Opera has a built-in 'VPN' option, which is actually isn't a real VPN, but merely a proxy server for web browsing. It's easy to use and if it's just about hiding your IP address to…

    I'm also speaking of e.g. the junkware running on automotive headunits. These systems are expected to be shut down at least once a day, so overall focus on (not only long-term) sta…
