I have used VPNs for more than 10+ years. My reasons: 1 To bypass geo-blocking 2 Because I like to push wrong data to people who try to mine data that should not be mined 3 No logs is also a plus though you can't trust 100/100 no logs 4 In some rare cases you can improve the connection 5 As a privacy statement

Will never understand the widespread use (obviously this doesn't apply to ppl with regional limitations). It's when I hear my "ordinary" friends using them at hotels because it's the norm where I'm like "why?"

competitive websites pitched by sore losers get blocked by government, like anything coinbase, even maternity/baby stuff websites get blocked 🤦🏻‍♂️ Indonesia is a piece of work

do you really want every company (and all the trackers and data brokers) on the other side of https to know your home address?

mostly for privacy reasons: - to block IP tracking - to confuse ads - no multisession associations - internet service provider would not know browsing history
