Most VPN Services are Terrible

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.

This mini-rant came on the heels of an interesting twitter discussion: https://twitter.com/kennwhite/status/591074055018582016

AppleScript for selecting menu items. Example: selectMenu({"Finder", "file", "new finder window"}) - "Enable access for assistive devices" must be checked in the Universal Access within System Preferences.
-- `selectMenu`, by Jacob Rus, September 2006 modified by Joon Park, 2011
-- Found on http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060921045743404
--
-- Accepts a list of form: `{"Finder", "View", "Arrange By", "Date"}`
-- Execute the specified menu item. In this case, assuming the Finder
-- is the active application, arranging the frontmost folder by date.
--
-- This will return true or false depending on availability and null if the menu
-- item doesn't exist at all. Use `checkMenu` to only check the state.
