Little FYI: Wi-Fi calling services on AT&T, T-Mobile US, Verizon are insecure, say boffins

Re: Use a VPN?

If your goal is to resist third party attacks rather than hiding from your ISP, then you can use a VPN that you run yourself. Then you don't have to worry about the trustworthiness of a VPN provider because you aren't using one.

This is what I do with my phone -- all communications go through a VPN that I run at home (I use a firewall to ensure no packets get sent except through the VPN). I am still exposed to my home's ISP, of course, but otherwise my communications are always encrypted.
