I've been using VPN for a whole another reason, my ad blockers block the adds so I never see any adds, however, I can't trust my ISP and the telecommunication Infrastructure to not steal my cryptocurrency payments with a Man in the middle attack.
I hope the peer to peer internet projects become popular soon and we have an internet that doesn't go through governments and big companies, I've seen videos of small groups installing wireless hobs connected to safe internet connections to provide censor free internet to the surrounding.
