Man, fighting "all or nothing" thinking is a lifelong endeavor.

There are several reasons to have a VPN, and the VPN logging connections is a detriment to some of those.

Reasons include:

* Evading geo-blocking to appear from one country or another

* Evading profiling by websites by laundering your public IP address with others

* Evading privacy invasion by ISPs that most definitely use data for ad/tracking purposes and definitely have logs for law enforcement

* Doing things that could attract interest from law enforcement

The last bullet is the only one affected by logging at the VPN. In this case, the question is which entity do you want to have your traffic? Someone with a reputation for privacy to uphold, or ATT?
