      a good reason to always have your vpn on

        That way your info only gets exposed when the VPN sells it

          only if you choose one that logs data.

          an ISP-only approach is objectively worse in every way: not only you often don’t even have an option to choose between them, but they have all your private info, are subject to your country’s laws, and they’re known to log and report data to 3 letter agencies, data that can probably also be stolen or purchased by other bad actors.
