Can your ISP see what you do? Yes, in more ways than you think In this guide, we’ll explain what information ISPs can collect, how they use it, why privacy advocates have raised concerns about ISP tracking, and what you can do to reduce the amount of information your provider can access. https://proton.me/blog/how-isps-track-you

@protonprivacy@mastodon.social I'd trust my ISP more than random foreign VPN service provider who really exists to provide evasion of geolocation based blocking. Geolocation based on IP and blocking by location are both immoral. But that's a different issue. The use case for VPNs is secure access to your own office or home when away, and that doesn't need a 3rd party that can spy on you.

@protonprivacy@mastodon.social That's why we need VPN. Not necessary Proton VPN, but Proton and Windscribe are two VPN services with the lowest barrier for non-tech people. Freemium, privacy-friendly, and somehow intuitive (though Proton's Linux app is a tad... *interesting*).

@protonprivacy@mastodon.social I wish there was an option to add Proton VPN to my Ubiquiti router instead of every device.
