Essentially, you outsource the blocking to your VPN server in that scenario. You can have a blocklist of advertisers, trackers, or bad-behaviour like SSH/HTTPS scans, etc. You would generally download a list of misbehaving netblocks and block them on your firewall, then download a list of known-bad domain names, and block them from being resolved by DNS (i.e. just return 127.0.0.1, which is your local device, which always fails)

Jokes on them… I turn the screen off, slap on a pair of noise cancelling headphones, and put on my sleeping mask when I’m on a plane.

I’ve watched a company load up 2PB of data into a tape library, have them stack it full of bubblewrap, then roll it onto the back of a truck with the tires deflated for a softer ride, then driven across town to a new datacentre at 3am on a Sunday.

Effective data rate: 1PB per hour.
