[QUOTE="Shadowra, post: 1037517, member: 92939"] I will clarify that. [U][B]A VPN is important if :[/B][/U] - You are in an airport, train station, McDonald's, restaurant, hotel etc because public wifi is not secure. A hacker can easily create a fake access point and steal the information (funny enough because I experienced this at my training when we had to see the risks of attack) - You are "paranoid" in terms of security - You live in a country where freedom of expression is censored or sites are blocked in a political way - You want to watch geo-blocked series [U][B]A VPN is useless if :[/B][/U] - You surf the Internet on known sites - You do not travel - Your country does not censor You should also avoid VPNs that read connection logs, those of Kape Technologies (ExpressVPN / CyberGhost / PIA / ZenMate) and especially those that claim everything and anything... In VPN I recommend Mullvad which is not too expensive and has already proved that it had nothing (they had a search given by the Swedish Court, they found nothing because Mullvad did not keep anything at all) [/QUOTE]
