Porn.
Also my ISP sniffs packets enough to send copyright complaints, so I’d rather outsource that exposure to a country with privacy laws.
Mine only sends those for torrenting, that doesn't need much scrutiny to detect
I use one for Usenet, but maybe I’m too cautious.
With https I don't but I'm not really at risk so I might make other choices otherwise, idk. But def use vpn when torrenting bc your ISP *will* send a letter
