Great series! Only thing I would go into more detail on are the use cases for tails, tor, and chromebooks. Last I checked you still couldn't boot into tails from a chromebook because of the way the boot loader is locked down in chromebooks.

How is using VPN services safe if the places a lot of services are routing through are unsafe themselves? There is an argument to be made that you're only exposing yourself to malicious traffic or allowing another nation state to track you. Not all VPN services are lazy with who they route through, but I'd say it's still a concern.

EDIT: Watched longer and noticed your caution towards the subject. Thanks
