ISP don’t even pretend not to sell your shit anymore…
that’s really the only real benefit to using VPN, deny that parasite profit while shifting trust to another corpo. at least VPNs pretend to not sell your data. i mean some do it anyway
If you use your own DNS and also DNS over HTTPS I think they won’t be able to sell that data anyway.
They still classify traffic at the very least. Watching NetFlix, playing games, browsing web etc.
With VPN they have to us e a lot of compute to figure out what is going in the tunnel.
Plus, they can’t figure out that you are downloading Linux iSO 🐸
Wouldnt a vpn server be an ideal target for the NSA?
I am talking about ISP selling your traffic for marketing data.
You are talking about state actor hunting you down.
Different threat model.
You are not hiding from NSA within US or other westoid regimes.
They have legal right to do whatever they want. An individual has no chance
