    I have nonpublic services I host at home so I VPN home anytime I’m out.

    I have a docker container for my Linux ISOs with a VPN.

    I always had it on, and got banned from my favorite game server for possible alt-accounts. It’s a tight-knit community and the admin fixed it for me a few times until it got annoying. Now I start my game with a shell script that turns off the VPN via CLI before loading so I don’t get banned over and over. 90% of everything else goes through a VPN, not because it has to, but because I want my ISP to be blind by default, at least to the degree I can make that happen

    i used to use it 24x7 before but now i just turn it on when i need it since it makes my internet significantly slower.

    Depends on where I am and what I’m doing. When on work travel, I VPN home. When I’m home I VPN to work. Outside of that, I don’t really use VPNs.

    If I really want to cover my tracks, I have other means and methods
