I’ve only been using VPNs seriously for the past few days, since the UK laws have come in.

I have previously used VPNs for occasional regional issues like accessing Polymarket to see how badly my 12 x $1 bets are doing.

I actually have no need to use VPNs despite the recent regulatory change, no site has asked me for ID, including X which I have posted a few things to.

I’m using VPNs now primarily as a protest against the latest government over reach.

My conclusions, VPNs are fine, they work and the speeds are fine, but I’m definitely struggling with the latency. Streaming YouTube is fine, but waiting for a simple web page to load is the kicker, it is noticeably slower and is wasting a significant amount of my time.

I’ll probably turn off the VPNs for default browsing and only turn then on if I am challenged to provide unnecessary ID.

Maybe I'll VPN to the UK just to screw with them.

Yes, do that.

The surprising thing is my VPN exit nodes in the UK are doing roaring business 😂

How many plebs will be VPNing to the UK just for the thrill of verifying themselves 😂
