#44Anyone here recommend a VPN, for personal information safety and security rather than hiding porn?
How are these two use cases different? Are there vpn services that let you do one and not the other?

Can I get a socially approved amount of porn then? Would there be porn rations?

That was a thing even back in my day, when LTE availability was not a given and cellular packages were much less generous.
