Why do I need a pain VPN if I havent used one in the last 20 years? Im already using google services,i have social media, i got a whole paper trail on me…so what am I really protecting? My identity is already confirmed. A VPN is like putting a fake license plate on a car I've already registered to my home address.

I could see the use for playing games to prevent IP leaks from skids.

uBlock Origin cannot see, and can never block, that server-to-server communication. It's all happening "behind the curtain." Nor does it stop CNAME cloaking where third party trackers create subdomains to mask as first party requests.

It can't stop the website itself from using server-side tracking to report my actions back to Google and Facebook. And even if I'm not logged in, my browser fingerprint still gives me away. My data is already in their walled gardens.

If I need to play a game sure ill launch free protonvpn. but why pay

You can use a VPN to protect yourself when you're using shitty hotel/airport public wifi (random people will be able to sniff all your traffic and see all the porn sites you're browsing lol). But you can get the same benefit by setting up a VPN server at home and connecting to that when you're traveling.

A VPN isn't really that useful for privacy, and reputable VPN companies are honest about that. But they can protect you from getting love letters from your ISP whenever you torrent shit.

These are questions you need to answer yourself, idiot, nobody here knows your browsing habits and use cases. Goddamn attention starved fatchild, what you need is a cliff, not a VPN.

Not OP but I've been torrenting for years without a VPN and I never once got an ISP letter
Does it from vary from service providers or what you torrent?

Depends on what you torrent, depends of the country

I only use vpn to upload stuff illegally.
Don't really see any other use for it.
