In this episode, we explore why I no longer use a VPN (most of the time) and nor should you.==============================SUGGESTED==========================...
My ISP, who I pay $100/mo for internet, tells me straight up that it monetizes my browsing data. I pay $5 a month to a VPN that ‘promises’ it doesn’t do that. Safer bet is the VPN. Even if they (VPN) sell my data, I prefer to spite the ISP anyway.
I see. Sure. There’s a risk of course.
But VPN companies are not legally obligated to collect and save your Internet usage data like your ISP is.
So select a provider that doesn’t, like Mullvad.
What was the reason?
VPNs are centralized entities that can monitor traffic in bulk
