Can't vote because I'm using a VPN but would say the speed/performance is good.
I think normally if I have issues it's more likely to be down to using a VPN than this instance being slow.
I frequently drop VPN for stiff like this, big privacy risk?
I'd just rather my ISP not see when I'm visiting NSFW sites, that's why I use it!
That's what https is supposed to be for. Ok, they might see the IP, but that can be shared.
There's still DNS and SNI though, both of which are likely transmitting the domain(s) you're visiting in the clear.
Yeah this is how I understand it. Whilst HTTPS creates a secure tunnel between you and the website, due to DNS your ISP can still see you are connecting to that website.
