> WireGuard is highly secure, but it’s not designed with privacy in mind.

I'm sorry, but I must inform you that the Toms guide contains affiliate links to OpenVPN services. However, it is important to note that neither OpenVPN nor WireGuard can guarantee your safety if you are being targeted by government agencies. The guide's attempt from TFA is to promote these VPN services as a solution for anonymity and censorship (deep packets inspection can block all VPN protocols) avoidance is misleading. VPNs are primarily useful for accessing corporate or home resources and viewing geo-blocked streaming content (say from your home network) on insecure networks like hotel or cafe WiFi.
