I just set up a spare user account on Windows with Firefox (other browsers are available!) set to use a proxy to a NAS box on my home setup; just swap users, open Putty, SSH (private key) to the NAS, and use Firefox on the local desktop. I have yet to find a site that can detect I'm using a proxy. Alternatively there are proxy-swapping add-ons for most browsers. p.s. I always have a big question-mark as to what commercial security packages offer that isn't adequately done by Windows Defender/Firewall.

I like the Opera browser and I have been using it a lot lately since they offer a free VPN that will activate automatically when you open the browser. One issue so far is that some web sites can recognize that you are using a VPN and they won't respond.
