There seems to be a sub-group of salty dogs that sail without protection. They are often US saying they get lots of letters from ISP but nothing comes of it, lately. I’m one to hedge on the side of caution and will be continuing to use VPN but just wondering how much this is just a loud minority and how much truth is to it?

    A VPN is not a condom … Literally doesn’t do shit against infections

      Yeah… A VPN is just closing the curtains before shagging on the living room couch.

      It’s still happening, and you may end up with an infection, but others outside your private network residence can’t see what you’re doing.
