Thanks for the reply :) logistically, do you have to connect to VPN when you find you want to browse reddit? This is the "hassle" piece I was referring to earlier. Or do you simply always leave your phone and laptop connected to VPN by default?

This is an ideal use case for something like TailScale! It’ll only redirect traffic that’s meant for your internal network, unless you set it as an exit node - then it asks as a regular VPN.

I route all of my traffic (especially laptop/mobile, where I'm sometimes connecting to sketchy networks) over a Wireguard VPN to a server I control.

Also comes in handy when traveling, for services like Netflix that geoblock you based on your IP address.
