From a security perspective it seems 100% the correct call for the government sites filtering out traffic that is probably used for fraud rather than legit purposes 99.9% of the time. How are you doing any those the tasks you mentioned without inputting your personal information into the government website? And I assume you are, so then why are you using a public VPN at that point unless your just trying to make things difficult. You can use a VPN to try and hide your activity from the government, but becomes a fools errand when you are purposefully interacting with the government.

  • Actually, I'm not really sure why I have my VPN on at all times. I guess I just want all my online traffic to be encrypted, including when I come accross some host that doesn't support https. It's not so much a technical reason at this point. Perhaps a philosophical one? As in, I want my daily conversations to be overheard only by those whom I interact with.
