What are you gaining by using a VPN that just shifts your entry point into the internet from one place to another? Are you expecting some level of anonymity from it or are you just in some location that is highly restrictive? TOR is good for anonymity if done right, VPN is just an illusion of security or anonymity when you access public web. 🐶🐾🫡 

 I use a vpn for a little more opsec and privacy.  I think you're suggesting that a vpn doesn't stop fingerprinting in web browsers, which would be true. But a vpn is a pretty good privacy upgrade for non-web based nostr clients, especially given how easy it is to use Wireguard. 🐻👣😬
