I have, yeah. While I was traveling internationally and the roaming mobile data rates were insane. So I used the VPN while connecting to hotel/public wifi.

Wait how does that help with roaming charges?

Instead of using mobile data he used public Wi-fi through VPN.

Oh like the vpn is just to encrypt traffic on the public wifi it doesnt help with roaming itself. That makes sense

[-] baronvonj@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Right. Not about to use public WiFi naked!

Just use the free tier of Proton VPN, it's a million times better
