Self Hosted VPNs make a lot of sense. Sure you do not hide in the crowd but if you rent an anonymous VPS and install Wireguard you have full control over it, you can run your own DNS blocklists, you can whitelist the IP where needed etc etc. Also your IP is not automcally blocked everywhere.

i have tested a lot Monero wallets for mobile. Monfluo or Monerujo are the best out there.

I regularly attend a privacy meetup. While there were mixed opinions on Bitcoin and privacy until recently, and also on Bitcoin as an opt-out tool, it now seems everyone agrees that Bitcoin is the wrong choice. Bitcoin as a transparent investment tool, yes; for maintaining privacy, no; for opting out. Everyone is now a Monero user. It's also clear that the Monero community is united in its goal and won't be deterred.
