I was for a while, using a W7 VM on VirtualBox. I hooked it up to the VPN interface so that if the VPN dropped, I wasn't leaking traffic and it couldn't access the local network or host machine without significant difficulty.

It was initially for minimising the risk of false positives while testing remote access from the network I was on at the time.

Probably not enough to be hacking NSA, but it quickly added layer of protection from leaking stuff.
