Our Take: Some are looking to ban VPNs, whilst others are giving them to AI Agents… Back to whack-a-mole for services who are trying to stop AI agents from clogging up their processes.
Your Takeaway: If your service distinguishes between human and agent, will VPN use affect that process? Or could your agent benefit from its own VPN?
You might use a VPN yourself, but have you considered giving one to your AI agent? It might be more important than you think.

"Perhaps most importantly, your ISP can’t distinguish between your own internet traffic and that of your autonomous AI agent," said Tomaschek. "But with this integration, as well as with Windscribe’s, the VPN encrypts the agent’s traffic as well, so basically you’re protected from whatever your agent might autonomously get up to on the internet."
If you use OpenClaw, ChatGPT or one of the many other LLMs with access to the internet, your autonomous AI agent can now take advantage of the same privacy and security features.
"Using a VPN with an LLM can provide several advantages, such as keeping your identity private. Your internet provider won’t be able to see your AI agent’s activity, or that you’re using an AI agent," said Moe Long, CNET senior editor.
