Okay, I get it. Incidentally, strict initial approvals on smaller instances don’t seem annoying at all now, after reading these comments.

Thanks everyone!

    VPNs don’t stop fingerprinting. IP addresses are nebulous and change all the time. All a VPN does is hide your traffic from your ISP. So they’re handy for things like torrenting, where you might otherwise catch a scary letter from said ISP.
