[QUOTE="Kongo, post: 983431, member: 59691"] I wouldn't say that. Being connected to a VPN 24/7 brings more problems than it solves. Connection slowdowns, being unable to access some sites that block VPNs etc. For me personally it only makes sense enabling a VPN when you need it for unblocking geo-restricted content or while you are torrenting. Using an encrypted DNS server with malicious site and phishing site blocking for your day to day browsing is a much easier and more comfortable solution. It adds extra privacy and security without a negative impact on your browsing. For most people the third-party DNS providers are even faster than the one provided by their ISP. [/QUOTE]
