So I have gotten more paranoid In my old age but I think I need a VPN. I am not even sure that what I want is a VPN or that it can do what I need it to do so I am just going to ask. I know that the kids stream to their phones from the wifi. I don't really know what the content is and really don't care but I also don't want my ISP to send me any letters about one of them downloading a file they shouldn't and losing my internet. I also don't like the fact that I seem to be getting ads specific to something that I have looked at on the net on my home page. Is it possible to setup a VPN by someone that knows nothing about networking, me? Is it possible to set it up so that whatever I do or look at does not go through my ISP directly? In other words they know I am using data but first it goes through a server before it gets here and hides the actual content? I have looked at a few companies like Digital Ocean that have pretty good speeds but I don't know if a VPN is even for this kind of thing. Does this even make sense?
Edit; I don't mind paying a minimal price for doing this, so if there are specific companies that can do this and are very simple to use please suggest them. Thanks
