Title says it all. I'll go first:

I don't really have any on my computer (all I use that for is Vim, Firefox, and Git), but on my phone: Orbot (basically Tor as a VPN on your phone).

Yeah, you really aren't supposed to... I rarely use Orbot to be honest, it's just super useful if I do need to use it, like on a network that blocks a whole bunch of things and you want to catch up on Matrix messages or whatever. Also, if you're worried about your phone updating or making a bunch of useless requests, you can turn on low data mode/mark your current connection as metered.
