Serious question: what if you're on a network that blocks non-HTTP[S] traffic? How would you read your mail? This is a problem I hear of quite regularly.

That’d alert me to the fact I didn’t have my vpn running.

Im happy to pay for my own cellular data and vpn to avoid networks like that. Including tethering my laptop if needed.
