    AT&T GigaPower and "Snoopvertising": Is VPN a Good Solution?

    I've looked into it before but never did it. I have VPN on all my client devices except the streaming boxes so I think I'm OK for the most part. But I'll consider looking into it. I assume this is what you're talking about? DD-WRT OpenVPN

    AT&T GigaPower and "Snoopvertising": Is VPN a Good Solution?

    Thanks for the clarification. It's pretty much what I'd thought. However, when you say "won't protect anything else on your network", do you mean internet activity specifically?

    The VPN is installed on my PC, although I'm not sure where else it would be (besides the router)? It starts up as soon as my PC boots up. Is that enough to block their view of what websites and files I download and upload?

    AT&T GigaPower and "Snoopvertising": Is VPN a Good Solution?

    After years of paying $67/month for 25 down/1 up, I finally got off my butt and called in for better service. the deal I am getting is AT&T GigaPower, 1,000 up and down, for $70 a month. However, it is also pretty well known that they build "snoopvertising" surveillance into the service, and...
