The self defense has many levels, from "don't click on this" to vpn to tor/onion network.

A good advisor should be able to point you at a workable level suited to your needs.

VPN and Tor will break some sites or make you look like you are in some banned country, or point you to an offshore store. Just be aware.

The computer help forum has helpful people eager to answer questions.
