Keep in mind a VPN is a single hop proxy, and not a multi-hop one like TOR which is a lot more rigorous than a VPN.

But if you must use a VPN:

Surf under generic domains like Reddit.com which frequently cite other domains/pages and frequently quote articles from specific resources. The VPN sees nothing as a result, just an encrypted connection to Reddit. It can't see what subreddits you peruse, and it can't see what citations / quoteables you're reading.
