Comment on Does a VPN used on a smartphone with Wi-Fi disabled (mobile data only enabled) provide any sort of protection?

I run my own wireguard VPN at home and connect to it from my phone when I'm traveling.

Grant's me privacy (but not anonymity) from my mobile carrier. Sure, my home ISP still sees my VPN's traffic, but that's still one less company able to monitor my web traffic when I'm mobile.

Running your own VPN in that situation is a good use-case agreed - assuming you trust yourself :)

  I’m experienced enough to know that out of my mobile carrier and ISP, I am the least trustworthy operator.

Same. Also feels a bit safer connecting to public wifi.
