Well it all depends who you wanna hide from.
Example if CIA came to my house and told me they will pay me 200 eur a month to install small box on my pc that will track everything i do on internet i would totally do it.
However in same time i use VPN and Tor sometimes.
That being said, informing said agencies of your actions for free basically is stupid. If they wanna have this info they better work their ass for it ;D
