Where in the world did you get that idea?

VPNs serve three functions:

  • add a layer of encryption so your local network operator and ISP can't inspect your traffic, its contents and its true destination. (this is what OP is looking for)

  • make it appear to the service you are connecting to, that you are connecting from a different location than where you actually are. (for example make Netflix think you're in a different region to show you different content)

  • provide secure access to private services that are not exposed directly to the Internet. IE securely connecting devices on seprate LAN networks together over the Internet via an encrypted tunnel. This is a VPNs true purpose and how they are primarily used in Professional/Comercial settings. (pretty much every corporation you've ever interacted with runs a VPN that connects its stores/warehouses/offices together)

Sigh... The fact that you have to ask.

Yes; you should always use your turn signal when you are turning. Just because you saw the arrow on the ground, that you are now stopped ontop of, doesn't mean everyone else is fully aware of your intention to turn. Hence, signals to indicate your intentions to those around you...

Interesting question; let me consult with my advisor for just a moment...

Blast him as a failure that can't even negotiate a single peace agreement. His ego will love that; it'll definitely just allow him to move on and not stew over it for years to come.

I can honestly say I have never seen a 10' wide pile of bodies...

I would hope most people have the same answer.

Sorry America, but your administration has decided you need to suffer. You should do something about that.

Until then, borders closed. We aren't visiting or buying your crap.

It's google; their entire business is built on fucking you out of your personal data. Once they have it, they will never let go.

Until a highly scrutinized third party audit proves otherwise; I doubt even GDPR removal requests are complied with internally. They might stop telling you they have the data, but thetly won't actually get rid of it.

I really don't like the idea of every device automatically having a publicly reachable IP.

There's certainly situations where that would be nice; but I'm quite fond of most equipment and services being behind a router and it's firewall, requiring explicit configuration to be exposed to the open net.

Nobody outside my home network ever needs access to my toaster... (btw, why tf is my toaster wifi enabled...?)

My ISP blocks the ports needed for mail hosting :/

Pretty sure I'd have to go through them to get the rdns PTR records pointed at my domain too. PITA
