I keep hearing on VPN ads that you have to use a VPN to not have your login information stolen. So far I have been using Cloudflare WARP to be safe enough. However, if I am using an HTTPS website, do I really need a VPN or WARP? Will an attacker on the same network as me be able to access passwords transmitted over HTTPS?

Personally I would use my own cellular Wi-Fi hotspot over a third party VPN. A VPN … unless you are running your own … is just a giant honeypot for snagging everything you do.

The only way you know it’s not happening is you don’t.

An in country cellular service at least can be assumed not to sell your data to a cyber crime group.

I will do anything to deny Comcast even a penny. From the heart of hell I stab at thee.

If my VPN is selling traffic information so be it. Fuck Comcast. I would rather mullvad sell my info then let Comcast get another penny.

I can't overstate how much I hate Comcast.
