Different people have different uses for VPNs. Some people use it to get around regional restrictions on Netflix and YouTube, yes. Some people use it to help maintain some semblance of privacy, especially when traveling and connecting to unknown networks. Probably for the average person who isn't trying to watch shows that aren't in their area and who lives in a relatively safe cyber environment, you're probably just as well off manually managing your cookie settings (blocking entire services that you don't need), or using Container Tabs (in FireFox) or browser compartmentalization to break up your browsing habits if you're worried about companies selling your data. --- FFXIV: Lucius Hexenseele (Brynhildr) \| RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div/Mining/Smithing/Thieving/Crafting/RC https://letterboxd.com/BMovieBro/ <cite>Hexenherz posted [p:948803642] in What brows...
