I installed OpenVPN on my DO box after a hotel (Legoland CA) tried to MITM Dropbox, Reddit, and a few other sites. The app/browser caught this, but it rendered them unusable.

But in general, yeah I’d trust DO over Comcast or Verizon. I believe one of the US cell phone providers have been caught injecting tracking cookies into http headers in the past and selling customer information fits nicely into their business model.

I tend to only use it when I’m on sketchy WiFi networks though.
