Well there’s one very important thing a VPN can help you with.
If your ISP doesn’t want you downloading… uh… Linux ISOs, yeah, Linux ISOs, then you can use them to download all the Linux ISOs you want with BitTorrent and not get in trouble with your ISP.
I wonder if I’ll get a letter some day, for downloading Linux Mint. Though torrenting itself is perfectly legal here, the important part is the content that’s being torrented
It actually happened to me many moons ago. The Canadian ISP in question sent me an email saying that torrenting was “of disputed legality”(or something) and that someone in my house had torrented Ubuntu! I wish I still had the email but this was mid/late 2000’s.

Damn, I hate when I receive a letter from my ISP because I downloaded a Linux distro.
You joke, but I’m 100% sure it has happened at least once before.
I got a “warning” from my isp because i installed a VM on my pc.
