Actually, I'm not really sure why I have my VPN on at all times. I guess I just want all my online traffic to be encrypted, including when I come accross some host that doesn't support https. It's not so much a technical reason at this point. Perhaps a philosophical one? As in, I want my daily conversations to be overheard only by those whom I interact with.
