    A lot of my traffic goes to CDNs, and all of it is encrypted over https. Why should I pay for a vpn?

        My isp uses cg-nat, and many others do too, so source ip is hidden from most except for my isp, which I have a contract agreement with.

        As someone that manages networks and security, you know what piques my interest? When I see hosts using vpn. I look up the host using the service, the service in use, and see what other interesting things are happening.
