HTTPS should be expected by now - ISPs keep messing with my unencrypted traffic.


Then you should get yourself a different ISP or a VPN.


This is an extremely easy thing to say for many people around the world.

But for a large number of people - Americans, folks in countries with monopolies or state manipulation of internet traffic - it is not.

Not everyone has a different ISP to choose from. VPNs are a risky proposition and can significantly reduce bandwidth and increase latency.


Anyone that thinks ISPs don't mess with traffic, should check out this malware research

Some places have no other choices for ISPs. I don't disagree that a VPN would help but that feels like it's simply dismissing that there's a problem.
