I haven’t been able to post anything for the last two days. I don’t know if I was banned for a bit or not since I received no notice or warning.

If it wasn’t a ban what happened?

    List them. 90% of websites I visit have either reduced features (ie; can’t post or comment) or completely block any access to them when using a VPN.

      I don’t think I’ve ever had that issue except for some streaming stuff.

      You can search online instead of demanding I list reasons.

        You’re the one who made the argument that there were plenty of uses. The onus is on you to back up your suppositions. Not me.

          I’m not who you originally asked, but one of the things other than torrenting that I use a VPN for is bypassing arbitrary geo-restrictions on websites. A lot of (mostly US) websites don’t allow you to access them if you aren’t in the country, or in some cases, if you don’t live in the right state.

            I’ve used it for that too, but even that’s going away. Pretty soon I think ISP’s (or governments) will clamp down on VPN’s. Or they will make the argument that if you want to use a VPN, then you can only use “THEIR” VPN

          This isn’t an academic essay, go look yourself.

      Hide Your Traffic from ISP is the key feature for VPN as they data mine it and sell it to data aggregators.

      Sad reality most normies websites are going full agro on VPN users. My tinfoil is that VPN reduces data fidelity so they are salty about that. As data is less valuable.

      If website like fidelity/vanguard (money manager) can run on firefox fork with 69 privacy security extensions or their apps can run on degoogled phone, then all this other clowns are lying sacks of shit… when they are saying it they finger printing your buthole for “security” reasons.
