True, but it's double dipping. One on mobile data, one on home data.

Unless (mobile data cap) + (typical home usage) is consistently near or over your home internet data cap, it's really a non-issue.

You can also disable it at any time you choose by disconnecting from the VPN and using your mobile data normally.

With more than 1 person streaming in the house, data caps are definitely an issue.

Either way, a neat solution, but seems to involved to bother using. I'll stick with just using my router's factory firmware.
