    Just make a proper threat level analysis. Are you a journalist or politically exposed person in a non-democratic or semi democratic system?
    No?
    Are you in a key position of a company or agency providing (for) critical infrastructure?
    No?
    Are you just a little shit, trolling on the internet?*
    Yes? Maybe just dial that back.

    Verdict: You are of no interest for a state sponsored Spy Software or some script kiddy trying to wreck your day.

    *Hypothetical situation. Does not necessarily apply to the OP.

      non-democratic or semi democratic system?

      Am I right that you just called Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania semi-democratic countries?

        I would classify them as full democracies but if you want hard numbers I would check your countries score here

      The former is true, however anyone who’s ever looked at firewall logs will tell you plenty of skids are trying to get free domestic US IP addresses off of vulnerable home networks using automated means.

      That being said that has really has jack shit to do with personal privacy/security against state-scale dragnet surveillance.
