I've done #1236 so that should probably be taken into consideration

I decided to delete these two links and add it to a requirement in d9c60ef.

Currently we don't recommend any US based email providers, and I doubt we will while warrant-less collection is possible under ECPA's 180 day rule. Seems there was some effort in 2017 for reform, but that too hasn't yet occurred.

Add VPN description to top of overview page

I added an intro to the top, because I want to get this merged so I can work on #1311

Virtual Private Networks are a way of extending the end of your network to exit somewhere else in the world. An ISP can see the flow of internet traffic entering and exiting your network termination device (ie. modem).

Encryption protocols such as HTTPS are commonly used on the internet, so they may not be able to see exactly what you're posting or reading but they can get an idea of the [domains you request](/basics/dns.md/#why-shouldnt-i-use-encrypted-dns).

A VPN can help as it can shift trust to a server somewhere else in the world. As a result, the ISP then only sees that you are connected to a VPN and nothing about the activity that you're passing into it.

Typically, Internet Service Providers can see any internet traffic entering and exiting your network. Encryption protocols such as HTTPS are commonly used on the internet, so they may not be able to see *exactly* what you're posting or reading, but they can get a general idea of things like the [domains you request](/basics/dns.md/#why-shouldnt-i-use-encrypted-dns).
A Virtual Private Network provider can help in this situation, as it allows you to shift trust to a server somewhere else in the world. As a result, your ISP only sees that you are connected to a VPN, but nothing about the activity that you're passing through it.
