My boss will totally believe I'm doing job-related stuff while I'm connected to Pornhub's VPN ...

No one should care as long as you do your job.

Using a VPN for everything they have right to care though. All job-related traffic goes through it as well, hence potentially leaking sensitive stuff?

Sort of like when Amazon entered cloud space.

For PH it makes sense due to them already have infra to support it especially video streaming.

The challenge with privacy VPNs is a matter of trust.

So wait, as a UK citizen I can use Pornhub's VPN to circumvent the UK Government's "Porn Filter", a system that's run by..... Pornhub.

The VPN has as much a view in your traffic as your ISP or mobile carrier, for what it's worth.

I can think of many things one might do on a VPN that an employer might and probably should care about

Wasn't the porn filter supposed to be enabled by default, but optional for adults? As in the adults could change whether or not they could see the porn, at will?

I believe there was some bureaucracy involved and maybe a "porn tax" you had to pay to disable the filter, but maybe this VPN service effectively solves both of those problems.
