Ill always use a vpn as theres no other way to stop advertisers seeing your local host ip.
Its not sufficient to stop them tracking, by miles, but its necessary.

Yes VPNs are necessary. At least when using a public network.

Practically speaking, not really. And at that point the state has a warrant or someone highly technical in your home is there and there isn’t really shit you can do except block physical access to everything.

Yeah, no, you are extremely mistaken: Home routers are routinely compromised.
I'm not even talking about your government snooping on you but that's not unheard of either.
