Not just my ISP, but the sites I am visiting to not know where I am from.
valid point! so a VPN does provide this service for their customers: keeping the customer's ip address hidden from sites they visit.
I wonder why ISP's don't offer this as a service?
reply
The only thing I trust about my ISP is their incompetence and lack of interest in what I access. Even so, I tend to trust the VPN company more because of their entire business model, especially if the payment is via LN.

because their upstream connections are optimized for high throughput and low latency. to be a good VPN one must run servers in all corners of the world. the best ones offer split tunneling and lan isolation, so their apps must run locally on your devices.
