Are we stuck with VPN use forever?

in answer to the original post topic, it seems yes we will need to be as per following extract and probably only need two guesses which isp's.

Two UK internet providers have been helping the Home Office and National Crime Agency track the websites visited by customers.
A trial of new powers granted by the controversial Investigatory Powers Act of 2016 has been going on for months.
It involves the internet providers creating internet connection records (ICRs), which can be used to show which websites a person visited and when.

Ye read this eartlier today. It is deeply worrying how they is even "legal". Net neutrality is non existent.

I dont use VPN at all unless I really really need to and know taking big risk but just dont like using VPN 24/7 or majority of time like most.

Hey I stream IPTV and download of RD so if they want to knock on my door and send letters then they are welcome to do so.

RD acts as a VPN if you choose there streams

To be more precise, your ISP can only see that you are communicating with RD but wouldn't know what (due to https encryption), provided the Download Port field is set to Secured under Account Settings within My Account in RD.

However unlike VPNs RD logs everything you do and when for at least a year - in case the potential confidentiality breach of this worries you (if you do not communicate with and pay them anonymously), the risk is nevertheless small since you are only downloading so your liability would be limited to the price of downloaded materials, unlike torrenting/distributing which are the principal targets of rights owners because it is easy to argue the damages for that would be orders of magnitude greater.

You could reset the firestick completely and turn the auto update off I think it called on firestick to stop the update been pushed.
This is what I did with mine and hasn't updated to latest.
But yours has updated so you could try complete factory reset and hopefully can apply these settings.
Additional settings to check on Firestick to ensure security and manage storage space + free up ram.
Check you are running the latest software version and then from the home screen go to settings and then Preferences and click on it.
Click on Privacy Settings

Device Usage Data is OFF
Collect App Usage Data is OFF
Interest-based Ads is OFF

Scroll left to Display and Sounds, and click on it.
Click on screensaver.
Turn Start Time to NEVER.
Turn Display Info to OFF.

Cheers bud yeah is a option I suppose ... Nord has auto connect seems to work but as of late vpn's keep getting switched off? Not sure what's happening here.
Or teach the missus how to activate it
 
Legit Nord is 75% cashback on Quidco atm, making it about a tenner for a 2 year sub. Absolute no brainer compared to messing around with cracked accounts.
