Which ISP is that meant to be? Just curious...
Some ISPs (Yes BT, I'm looking at you...) actively block access to sites they deem to be dodgy. They're often wrong too. Use of a VPN sticks two fingers up to that kind of nannying.
I have very specific uses for VPN technology, partly job related, partly to deal with the bothersome problems around CGNAT, partly because I can and I want to.  |

Plusnet.
All that happens is they send those emails.
Your ISP isn't interested or bothered that you're downloading films or whatever from torrents.
You don't need a VPN to access torrent sites or streaming site just because piratebay and the like are blocked. Use https://unblocked.nz/ instead. |

I know the difference between HTTPS and a VPN  I was just pointing out that HTTPS using TLS 1.2 as an end to end encrypted connection is very secure.
VPNs aren't only used to hide nasty downloads either - they're a useful security tool. |

4G with carrier grade NAT sharing a single public IP to at least 8000 clients, there would be very little to identify a cleverly rooted phone which doesn't give out any hardware specifics, they'll see my SIM sure.. but oh well, don't give unlimited data if you don't want it fucked.
I do this for a living, I specifically deal with networking and web filtering, the bypassing, use of, monitoring etc.. I'm also pretty good at it.
Same as HTTPS, I was insinuating it will only give a shit about that in a browser extension. Second external program goes connect plz, it'll fail. I've had programs try to go out using my public IP before, jdownloader2 is the worst culprit in my instance. Even with a full VPN solution it retained its original known IP which prevented me from using zippyshare. I pushed it through a local proxy to fuck it up and use the browsers IP. That was useful. Wouldn't do that to everything.
That's going off on a tangent though, basically I wouldn't bother with a VPN.
HTTPS for emails... As in egress type?
For the most part, SMTP between MTAs is just as secure, sure it's not signed but the MTA transactions should talk using TLS 1.2 anyway...presuming you are using port 587 and not some old shitty 25 piece of turnip.
No one can be truly anonymous. You have to initiate a connection somewhere. |

Well there's the IEMI and IMSI of course, but CGNAT does obscure end IP addresses - it's one of the reasons that I use an VPN for some things

So do I and so am I - I'm an InfoSec

The thing about HTTPS is that you have to be assured that the certificate that the browser is responding to is the actual endpoint certificate. Proxies that break the connection by issuing their own cert (MiTM) are fairly common - in order that traffic can be inspected of course. It's a feature on our proxy although we're not using it.

It depends on your needs - you obviously don't need one

Egress stuff is good but it's horribly expensive!
We have our system set up in alignment with the secure email blueprint using TLS, DKIM, SPF and DMARC with mandated TLS 1.2 for the domains we want to assure. It works really well.

Ah there's the tale... If you can be assured of your initial connection then you're good to go. It can be done but it needs an anal degree of attention to detail and an effectively hobbled browser. |
