One alternative is to use an in-browser VPN this means that apps like email clients can still connect directly to the Internet, but your regular browsing gets an extra layer of protection/ convenience. Setting up VPNs has gotten easier over the years and there are many free options available as user, but they can still be a little intimidating for the 'typical' user. This means you can use VPNs to access block sites, or so that the ISP doesn't throttle speeds when it detects a torrent being downloaded. This works because the services see the traffic as originating from the server that’s at the other end of the tunnel and not your computer. It prevents your ISP (and others) from being able to see what data is being transferred, ensuring your privacy, and also allows for some interesting usage, such as masking your location, so you can access geofenced content. A VPN or Virtual Private Network is - in grossly oversimplified terms - a private connection between you and a server on a network (typically the Internet) that’s used to ’tunnel’ your traffic through.
