Yeah college networks are one of the biggest ones I would not trust unless I had a VPN going. Average computing? Perfectly fine. Naughty things? VPN up
If you don’t use the VPN for normal things then you leave yourself open to indentification by correlation. It’s the same rule for naive Tor users. The more normal and distributed it appears in traffic, the harder it is to correlate other pieces of data they they already have access to.
Not in my college. They have plenty of IP addresses to not use NAT, i.e. every user gets their public IPv4, and authentication is done with WPA2-Enterprise, i.e. unique login.
Everything is immediately traceable.
The Big Brother energy of that “We Can See You” eye in the middle is pretty high.
I mean, it’s an open “heads up” so better that than not informing their students at all

You shouldn’t need to pay for a VPN to prevent your ISP from seeing whether your torrent is public-domain or not if you’re using TLS.
