- mercora 7y agobetter yet it makes it really easy to pinpoint traffic to a single person despite all other measurements to make this harder. I would guess being an IP transit provider would be a lot more beneficial for them otherwise with regards to the amount of traffic they would handle....
- Fnoord 7y agoIf you tunnel 0.0.0.0/0 or equiv through it, sure. You don't have to, though. I just run my own VPN server on my cable internet. It allows all my roaming devices Pi-Hole access, and the same privacy as my cable internet.

- homero 7y agoThere's nuances. ISP is whole household, VPN is device. ISP has a business, VPN might be interested in selling data especially the many free ones. You can VPN over ISP but can't hide VPN on VPN.
