Don't view any such purchase as a long term investment. It probably won't be long before the UK government demands that ISPs block all VPN usage. It looks increasingly likely that many western countries will soon be taking a Chinese-style approach towards the internet. There's always some small benefit to restricting liberty, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I mean, that's a pretty significant prediction, and if it's about a near-term happening based on current observations, that'd be good information to be aware of.

It would take some time, but I could provide you with a bunch of links to reputable news sources on this subject. Instead, to save time, let's go with a one page summary of the new internet censorship that is being proposed (or is already taking place) in some western countries in just the past month: https://www.citizensagainstidiocracy.com/93/internet-censorship-in-australia-and-new-zealand-who-decides https://www.citizensagainstidiocracy.com/93/internet-censors...
