Which is precisely the use case I use a VPN for.
I'd rather trust an at least somewhat trustworthy VPN provider with my data than a random coffee shop and clients who happen to be on the same network at the time.

- runeb 7y agoSimply seeing what servers you connect to can reveal a lot about you. Where you work, what social media accounts you have, what apps you have installed, what you are interested in reading etc. HTTPS doesnt help you with that.
