Discussion about whether VPNs are necessary.
Answers & Discussion
People act like you're invisible online with a VPN. You're not.
I started because of streaming and stayed because I liked having a little more privacy.
I use one mainly when travelling. Hotel Wi‑Fi and airport networks make me uncomfortable.
For most people I think the marketing is bigger than the actual need. If you're browsing from home on trusted networks a VPN is not some magical shield.
