I'm not a 'networking' person, but am I wrong in believing a VPN would (potentially, with caveats) prevent your ISP from "being able to see which IPs you're sending packets to"? Wouldn't all packets look like they are going to and from the VPN?

As mentioned, that doesn't get around the VPN knowing where your traffic is going, and there are issues such as your VPN dropping and your system switching over as opposed to dropping the packets, compromising your privacy.

correct, only VPN connection visible to ISP, no content

sshuttle 0.0.0.0/0 --dns -r $server

don't forget --dns ;)

Kind of strange that Google's first result for "sshuttle" is a dead project (literally says "Wrong project!" in the title) that links you to the real one.
