Filtering in this way does provide a significant speed hit if you choose to use your home router but nothing is stopping you from using a VPS instead.
For me the primary concern is privacy and security and using the always on VPN is the best way I've found to protect what I value.
Nothing gets out without my expressed consent, just the way I like it.
- walterbell 11y agoAre you using Android or iOS? There seems to be flakiness on iOS8 where the VPN gets disconnected during a change between WiFi and Cellular, or if the device is locked.
- click170 11y agoI'm using android. The VPN can drop out when I change networks, but it reconnects in less than a single second under good conditions, and that's not an exaggeration. I use a plain ipsec xauth VPN. Having tried both ipsec with l2tp and openvpn SSL VPN, ipsec is the only one I can get to reconnect in under a second. All the others take at least 5 seconds to complete a handshake.
