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.

    If I login to youtube and click a video, advertisments are mostly female hygiene products, braziers or frozen food products, because wife sometimes forgets to sign out from Facebook or Instagram. There also used to be gaming related stuff, but after my son became “privacy oriented”, those.disappeared.

    I’m guessing that for data brokers we are one singular blob.

    Not sure about how it all effects on blending in.
