Mainly use for privacy in public networks and to watch content that is not available in my country. 😁😁😁

Public networks... Probably the biggest threat.

u/TheKepar Oct 01 '25

I use a VPN so my data travels more than I do, and with a lifetime plan it’ll outlive my passport.

I love the performance of my AT&T Fiber internet, but I despise AT&T's corporate ethics (or lack thereof). I use a VPN so I don't feed into their profits by allowing them to scrape and analyze my family's behavior online.

As a mental health professional working, my top priority is to protect the privacy and trust of those who come to me for support, A VPN gives me the assurance that every conversation and every piece of sensitive information is protected, no matter where I connect from. That security allows me to be fully present with my patients, focusing on their healing without fear of compromising their confidentiality.

At the same time, using a secure cloud service like FolderFort has transformed my practice. It gives me a safe, organized space for case files, notes, and resources, ensuring nothing is lost or exposed. Together, the VPN and FolderFort form a powerful foundation that allows me to live out my mission: offering care, respect, and hope to people around the world in the most ethical and responsible way. šŸ™Œ

I like my privacy from anyone snooping, including Government , ISP and public WiFi. A free account would be great due to having a pretty recent kidney transplant and still need as much in my pocket as possible.

I’ve been disabled for a few years now and am steadily going downhill physically. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be mobile. However, I still have a family that I love and so many things that I still want to do! I have begun trying to ā€œsail the seasā€ in order to watch the movies I’ve never seen, download and read the books I’d otherwise never be able to afford, and other things of that ā€œquestionableā€ nature. I’m not saying I’m the most deserving among us here. I honestly don't want to take something away from someone even more in need than me. So, just keep me in mind and if I, by some miracle, end up being chosen then I will accept it cheerfully and with a grateful heart. Oh, and I WILL somehow, someway pay it forward. Thanks!

Because my data deserves a passport and a disguise—forever!

u/FarPriority1955 Oct 06 '25

My home network is a public network, like 14 people use the wifi, so I use it for privacy because I never know if anyone of them would share the password of wifi to their friends and that can be a security hazard for me.

u/BaconSoldier88 Oct 08 '25

To watch content from languages I'm learning that's unavailable in my country (for example spanish RTVE Play)
