VPNs are programs which do a variety of things, most commonly making content private by encrypting it and hiding your IP, although I've seen some where they AdBlock and much more. They might also unblock restricted content.
Never use a VPN without trusting it- it can potentially see all your history.
I only use ZenMate extension on Chrome + Firefox.

I use ZENMATE too, yet if I could have voted for more I'd have marked "Something Else";) as I've also used DoNotTrackMe (renamed Blur) an Add-on for Firefox. I've fascinated with more than a passing curiosity over the added anonymity:cool: while revelling in the great number of choices (like browsers) among VPNs. I humbly question the advantages VPNs hold o_Oover the trusty, free, & littler extensions.:)

I don't trust any VPN, they have huge privacy issue. There is something called "shared fraud database between VPN providers". I don't wanna say more, here it is not the place (I wanna let people be in this lies like the one with AV companies and so on).

I use Zenmate for when I want to proxy out from one browser but remain on my current connection for another to stream youtube videos. If I need it to protect me while I'm using an application I use accounts from BlueVPN, not entirely sure they are very secure and reliable but they do provide the basics of 1 VPN to US and another to Netherlands for torrenting. Also I used to use PureVPN and I highly recommend it from the 1 month of usage while I was in China for my school trip. It gave me no problems at all and also it had generally very fast speeds that could stream videos.

ZenMate is great because it's free but it compromise your Internet speed to great extent. Let's say if you have a net speed of 4MB you will might end up in 500Kbps or so. Plus i am not sure if it also fits for your online security tool. If would be at your place, i might go with highly optimized streaming VPN. Belive me i am a user of HMA VPN and i am loving it for streaming videos and listening music online.
