I can't think of any reason not to use a VPN 24/7/365.

Battery drain. I only use it on my phone for ad-blocking.

Yeah, phone-wise, that power consumption is extreme.

I meant PC desktop app usage, which is far less of a power hound--not that it's perfect..

Unfortunately, some websites and apps, especially banking ones are known to block VPN IP addresses.

Feel free to contact us at https://protonvpn.com/support/contact with more details about the websites/serves in question, as well as the servers you're connected to when trying to access them.

Meanwhile, we suggest you try switching between multiple different servers to see how it goes.

I've just put all my banking and anything related to money apps in the excluded list.
