it depends™
what are you protecting yourself against?
for my use case, that'd be good enough, i don't want my school/building admins to snoop on the websites i visit, and don't want to fear academic repercussions for torrenting and such
though if you think your government is out to get you, then tunneling to another country is probably best!
Nothing that serious, thankfully. Just want to obfuscate my data and leave as little of an impression on the internet as I can. Good advice, thank you!

Yep! That's what I figured. I don't mind. I appreciate the attention to security.
I've torrented in the US and haven't been hit with anything. So I think it should be fine as long as you vpn anywhere. Except maybe very totalitarian countries.
