U.S. Army Report Describes North Korea's Cyber Warfare Capabilities:
A report published recently by the U.S. Army describes North Korea's cyber warfare capabilities and provides information on various units and their missions.
The 332-page report, titled "North Korean Tactics," details North Korean forces and their actions, and one chapter focuses on electronic intelligence warfare, which Pyongyang allegedly uses to collect information on its enemies, deceive its enemies, and launch disruptive and destructive attacks, particularly ones aimed at communication and information systems and infrastructure.
North Korea's electronic warfare includes both lethal and non-lethal methods. Non-lethal methods include electronic jamming and signals reconnaissance, while lethal methods can include physical destruction of targets supporting its enemy's decision-making process.
South Korea estimates North Korea's cyberwarfare unit, Bureau 121, has 6,000 members.

On a more serious note - connecting via a VPN can be a pain in the ass. If I choose to connect through NYC, I get captcha challenges almost everywhere I go. Dallas doesn't hit me with a lot of captchas, but SN has the IP address pegged, and denies AC posts. A couple other servers are better.

Do not ever use commercial VPN services. Buy some real servers in Tatarstan, Kaapstad and Belize, put our own favorite VPN configuration on them and you are good.

The problem is: by traveling to Belize and buying a server there, you've put yourself on a VERY short list. Expect laser reflection eavesdropping on your windows to follow.

Nah, there are plenty of people who go scuba diving there. That said, you could probably get a VM in there without leaving your desk.

Millions upon millions of VPNs run domestically in the U.S.
I doubt that U.S. - Belize VPN traffic is even 0.01% of the U.S. domestic VPN traffic.
Which 0.01% do you think is being cracked by the NSA's quantum (or more exotic) computing farm right now?
I think it was Langley that has a dedicated power plant - like could feed a medium sized city - just to supply their compute farm.

That's just tactical option. Shopping in China via VPN located in USA is rather difficult lately.
