I thought the 'security' angle was just a smokescreen anyway. Isn't it actually for accessing region-locked media?
It’s for torrents.
VPNs are great for avoiding the nastygrams that your ISP forwards to you from media companies. They get sent to some company that doesn't care about US laws instead, and probably laughed at before being deleted
Eh, the problem is, most of these big vpn providers end points are well known by most isp's.
…it’s fer the torrents. I love you, VPN.
I use my VPN on public networks for additional security
Nowadays everything is encrypted by default. You don't get additional security with a VPN.
Not everything is. HTTP and unencrypted SNI are still around.
Well, not really with these, per se. My own VPN, Wireguard, routes back through my pihole service to double down on it's filtering. For the most, I'm not trying to obfuscate my ip. If I wanted to do that I'd use tor or something. I just don't want my traffic to be easily snooped on when I'm connected to wifi that isn't mine.
And HTTPS does that. It's encrypted.
Yes but I use more than web traffic stuff on my phone.
Well, if you access things on the internet you could be sued for, your IP will not appear in the logs of your ISP or the webserver you connected to.
Sure. But they can't advertise on that point. So they claim it's for malware and tracking protection even though that makes no sense.
I think it keeps your isp from knowing what websites you're going to?
