This seems like a good way to learn what information your system is leaking that it shouldn't be leaking, eg if you use a VPN and they still block you, your VPN is probably not doing what it claims to be doing. (AFAIK a correctly implemented VPN would not send any of your computer or browser information to nsa.gov.)


VPNs do not do what you seem to think they do. A VPN is a privacy tool as much as restarting your router to get a new IP lease is a privacy tool.

Of course it's doing what it should: binds IP address to a credit card used to pay for VPN! It's much solid that browser fingerprinting.
