Bit of an uphill fight with captchas everywhere. Do people here conduct all online activity over VPN whenever possible? Only for the sensitive stuff? Or perhaps the inverse because the bank already knows you? Maybe when travelling or getting around region blocking? Something else?
The one provided by my work aside, I realized that I don’t have any consistent rules around using VPN. Except sometimes, you know, when downloading ISO’s for my favorite distos.
In a way always.
Whole family is connected to home network and home network has filters and blockers in the outgoing router.
Additionally home security system doesn’t have to keep connections open outside or have ports forwarded.
Outgoing router however does not have VPN set, so home network IP is visible. This is to keep everything operational and CAPTHCA from annoying users.
Aside from the obvious benefit of blocking advertising traffic for all devices on your home network, does this strategy also improve your ability to blend in by eliminating the need for an ad blocking browser extension such as ubo?
