when I use vpn??.
1: is in wifi networks.
2: Because there's a promotion and I need an ip from a certain country:
3: Why am I bored:
4: If you have a pretty face like yours. (this is a joke)
Is there a real need of using a VPN? Be honest!

I use VPN for 2 reasons only:
1) bypass regional restriction
2) security in public wifi
1) bypass regional restriction
2) security in public wifi
For me using it in wifi networks seems a good idea or to dodge geo restrictions. On the other hand i would rather trust my isp than a vpn provider in a foreign country to not spy on me. When i get a lifetime! vpn for <50€ How should that ever cover their costs ? As much as i don't like a lot of things in my country when you don't start hatespeech on facebook or start downloading cp you can do stuff you like withhin the law of course. If your country arrests people for beeing gay or criticizing the government (and so on) better start using one asap.
Assuming anonymization software usage isn't illegal too. If that's the case it probably isn't worth the risk.
When you install a vpn, you can do checks to be sure you're anonymous and your presence isn't leaked online.
Like others have mentioned, its not a panacea and you shouldn't use one to do things you wouldn't do in the real world.
In a day and age though, where people's privacy is increasingly compromised, it preserves the little privacy they have and its a redeeming social value.
A vpn that doesn't block your access or slow you down is a godsend in Internet surfing.

I use a VPN, not all of the time, but sometimes. Mostly to remain 'somewhat' private and for ANY WiFi outside of my home.
I use 2 kinds of VPN's. My Fortigate has a FortiVPN server built in. I use that one from public/open/offsite connections so I can secure my traffic behind my extensive infrastructure. The second type is a commercial VPN service that I use from within my network to add some level of privacy/anonymity to my online activities.
The FortiVPN is free, the second one I pay for, and I pay to get maximum speed.. This is my speed through a VPN.

A lot of people here already gave mostly all uses and information, i just want to point speed is based on what vpn you chose and there servers.
Recently i tested express vpn and was getting 10mb less on speed tests with 20 ping where on nordvpn trial i was getting normal 6 ping and full download speed, so its best to trial and error with what one you want to use, nord vpn allows me not to turn of my vpn when gaming as i dont lose hardly any ping at all so it saves me the hassle turning off/on if i forget to.
