Hello!
I know the use of VPN is promoted on the podcast but is it really that important? - since almost all websites have HTTPS.
I mean, who would gain anything from breaking into my network - those who do that would probably rather make some money on ransomware.
I don't use public Wi-Fi. I rarely visit sketchy websites.
Chrome is set to 'Clear cookies and site data when you quit Chrome' and I use uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and PhishProtect Beta.
In Firefox I also use Malwarebytes Browser Guard but it sometimes breaks the functionality of a site so I only use that in FF.
That is because I use Chrome for all my bookmarks and 'search engine' shortcuts, so mainly sites I already know whereas FF is new places and searches.
So, what is your take on using VPN? Maybe you've had this discussion a thousand times before...
I just think that this year with the development of Wireguard, everybody is trying to sell a privacy/vpn solution and I can't figure out if it's overkill.
Thanks.
