depends on what you want the VPN for exactly but there are free ones that get the job done. I don't know which free ones to recommend, PIA and ExpressVPN were the two paid services that i worked down to choosing between. I hear a lot of people say NordVPN is just fine but I dont mind spending $60/year for consistent 20-30ms ping times.

I'm paranoid enough to assume that my ISP is spying regardless, and that a VPN is just another layer of spies.

I feel like most people should have a VPN to use when on public wifi connections, at least.

That's why you gotta throw them off by being, uh, panpornual.
Some days it's big tits, may be erotic photos of trees the next.

I'm dumb. How does a VPN protect you from hackers on public wifi?

so let me see if I understand
Get an VPN paid of free through free ones probably aren't very good nor can help accomplish my goal
probably need to make an account for it
download it
fire it up
???

A VPN just makes sure your in-bound and out-bound are encrypted. Usually this is done well through https for sensitive info, so you probably don't have to worry too much. But you are still giving away certain information even if it is. Someone just knowing that you visit a particular website can be information that someone leverages.

encrypts traffic

no. static ip's just keep a single gateway address at all times, vpns will (depending on the vpn) still encrypt your traffic and send it to its own servers to be decrypted and sent out elsewhere.

as such it means I should get access to the site again through this even with a static ip?

Yes, to other computers, your computer will just appear to be a computer that the VPN company owns, more or less.

yep. Both static IPs and DHCP for your WAN are masked by whatever server the VPN is at, and that becomes the new "visible" IP, while your traffic still flows to your network. VPN's encrypt at the device, and send the info across your ISP to themselves, from there that is the "new" ISP from the websites eyes.
