Were you using VPN in the original meaning of the term as a tunnel to a non local network? I was using it in the modern sense of what we used to call a proxy in the early 2000s. So services like NordVPN etc. I think you definitely need to not give your ISP any chance to snoop. I’m sure they can’t look into your packets but just knowing which sites you visit is crucial info. As is exposing your Wi-Fi info for apps on your phone which use it as a correlation data point. Obv since we’re on this forum, we both likely know how deep the privacy rabbit hole goes but in my experience, a good vpn service can do a ton of stuff together like dns filtering, traffic shielding from the isp, location shielding, ad blocking etc. Quite a one stop shop in a lot of cases.
