Does any Freeper using a VPN have any advice?

Yes.

Do not rely on anything to preserve your anonymity when you access the internet.

At the level of the National Government, the internet is pretty much an open book - especially in the US. Most screen names can be traced to their authors within a few seconds, regardless of what countermeasures that you use. At best you might hold off a trace for a few minutes.

VPN relay servers merely act as registration agents for the Agencies. You might just as well send them your name and address.

If Obama gets a second term, we can assume that everything ever posted or written will become available and subject to action as Obama's Regime determines who is effectively a party member and who is not. Support for Dear Leader can easily become a requisite for first tier access to health care, government benefits and programs; never mind the flip side of direct reprisals via the IRS and other investigations.

Agreed.

But for casual use Firefox with private browsing makes me feel a little better about casual observers. Not the Fed Agencies.

For the agencies, “All of your bases belong to us”.
