How often do y'all use a VPN? (lemmy.ml)

Bit of an uphill fight with captchas everywhere. Do people here conduct all online activity over VPN whenever possible? Only for the sensitive stuff? Or perhaps the inverse because the bank already knows you? Maybe when travelling or getting around region blocking? Something else?

The one provided by my work aside, I realized that I don't have any consistent rules around using VPN. Except sometimes, you know, when downloading ISO's for my favorite distos.

Always on although my Phone VPN recently has failed to start up automatically or has shut down randomly lately and I got to get that fixed.

My reasons are just privacy. I'm not using it to get around regional restrictions. Additionally, it helps when I want to use a public Wi-Fi, especially if it doesn't have any passports on it.

I will not connect to public wifi without VPN.
