Why should you trust *your* VPN???

3. How does a vpn mark you as being suspicious?

Hundreds of thousands, possibly hundreds of millions of VPNs are being used currently to access work networks all across the globe during the pandemic. VPNs are everywhere. Hundreds of millions of connections per hour. Distilling the nefarious usage from the good is not something that would be worthwhile, except to maybe catalog all VPN connections and then parse them individually using a supercomputer to weed out corporate from personal.

I agree VPNs aren't perfect, but they are better than a raw connection to the internet if merely for the added protection from ads and marketing data collection. Just because someone uses a VPN does not necessarily mean they are a bad actor.

To each his own. I worked in IT for 30 years and VPNs are ubiquitous and used constantly. Fear or not, they work.
