@ajmartinez@fosstodon.org I often get asked "Should I use a VPN?" and my answer is some form of "Do you need to connect two trusted networks over an untrusted network? It's great for that."

When I find out they want privacy instead, the threat modeling discussion that follows tends to lead into re-implementing Tor poorly over three nested VPN services and it becomes clear that what they really want is Tor, not a VPN.
