VPN Suggestions:
1. Tor (but risky)
2. Mullvad (takes monero, takes cash too, make a choice)
3. Ideally, run your own servers in different clouds, get encrypted storage + regular log clearance, run via Tailscale Exit Nodes [Docs: https://tailscale.com/docs/features/exit-nodes]
(if you want to avoid tailscale, look into headscale, same, but FOSS)

A general white pill:
If you are in IT, or any tech adjacent sectors - don't worry about AI. Learn about it, try to integrate it into work, so that your corporate overlords will stay joyous. But also remember that all the AI providers big-names are still struggling for compute, and haven't reached their "peak" yet.
I'm seeing people get into token-gambling a lot, they now become brainless bots, just asking their AI Agent for every single task. So much so, they can't even read long texts and comprehend it anymore - and inadvertently ask AI to summarize it for them.
Use this to your advantage, stay sharp, keep your mind malleable. There will come a time when your ability to process information will be needed, especially when talking to people.
