I use it mainly because my ISP does traffic shaping, videos and images load painfully slow on a full duplex half gigabit fiber connection. We do have a law that makes traffic shaping illegal, but it's not enforced, so the only way around it is to use a VPN.

Funny enough my DnD group has found that we get fewer Zoom drops when we all turn on our VPNs. It is odd that in the age of video conferencing that video conferencing would be unstable due to... presumably the ISP.
