After looking around and trialling a few VPN's, I settled on NORD. It's easy to install and really cheap at $2.75/month for a 2 year subscription.
I've configured NORD to start with Windows - so now I'm protected from the Australian Government's decree that our ISPs collect and keep IP info on every client for years.
I fire up TOR when I decide to visit my favorite IOP's or to explore new suggested ones.
What TOR lacks in speed, it makes up for with the extra security.
Proton encrypted email for orders when possible (and it is being demanded by more and more vendors - which is only sensible for everyone.)
It took me a while to get my head around all of this, but it's been absolutely worth the effort.
I'm coming to terms with Bitcoin at the moment. Soon I'll be on top of that and all of my 'activities' (as small scale as they are) will be completely off the radar.

There's a difference between having an opinion and having an informed opinion.
