The VPN provider knows everything about your traffic except... KYC and PII which is kind of the most important thing.
Using a VPN is like using a no-kyc ISP + you get the added anonimity set of sharing an IP with other users.
A VPN is not the ultimate solution but it's just basic protection. Without is, it's kind of like getting fucked on the internet without a condom.
VPN privider knows you very well even if you pay with cash by mail.
They know your connection-patterns on daily basis.
You can always use Orbot Full VPN mode.
Using a VPN is not supposed to protect you from the VPN provider.
It's just strictly better than just using your ISP.
No one is arguing that tor isn't superior privacy wise. Why not route everything through tor? Because many types of internet usage are unusable and unviable through tor.
Now, imagine getting fucked non-stop my a herd of corporate elephants... 😳🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘💨 #lol #privacy
My work software won't let me log in when my VPN is on, but I can turn it on after logging in and use it (I don't understand that at all). Reading your post made me realize, I'd failed to turn it back on after logging into my work software. Thanks.
This is extremely advanced but if you're game, there are plenty of ways you can configure routing rules so that it uses the vpn for specific IPs except some specific ones.
I have some rules like that precisely because of this sort of issues.
