Not in Arkansas and not a porn consumer, but in this day and age how do you not already run thru a VPN or two?

I'm lost here, why would you need a VPN running all the time?

It may even speed up your connection.
Taken from information for end users of Swan Mobile:

If enterprise blocks, slows down or prioritizes selected ports or services, it will list them in the following table

There you may notice P2P being limted to 1Mbps and Video streaming to 2Mbps.
So... without VPN you can watch videos in like 360p. Oh, but it gets better, after you use 10GB on video streaming it drops to 1Mbps. So 240p? 💀
With VPN you just get the general FUP limit of 300GB without limits.

[–] boyi@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For some, but I doubt it for many. Average users don't even know what VPN is.
