          Nah homie, I am from LATAM, no good reason, no eyes care for what I do online here.

          The only reason (and the most popular among the people I know) is to get better content (AKA USA) on streaming sites such as Netflix lol… And I have been using ProtonVPN free as of recently because it is an easy way to get rid of my IPv6 connection in my Android phone (why is this so unnecessarily hard to achieve BTW!?) because I think my ISP is shit and can’t handle IPv6+IPv4 sites properly or IDK… I get huge delays browsing sites like Trakt and Plex from my Android phone… And I am afraid I use both servcies daily… YouTube and Spotify also take its time loading, all these issues go away once I switch to an IPv4 network only.

          Oh, and some Lemmy images take longer to load here too!

      Not quite… The video covers this, as does our overview:

      Using a VPN in cases where you’re using your real-life or well-known identity online is unlikely to be useful. Doing so may trigger spam and fraud detection systems, such as if you were to log into your bank’s website.

        I think this is dumb, what if I’m traveling and I want to check my bank. SMDH, I hate the geoblocking bullshit the internet is full of nowadays
