Kaspersky Secure Connection VPN
I have never used Hotspot Shield. I read somewhere that Hotspot Shield is not a reliable service in privacy. I don't know whether this information true or not

A good AV you can get for free. A good VPN not
You're totally right! There are VPN's that help you with geoblocking and VPN's that help you with privacy. Hotspot Shield creates logs and this is a no-go.

200Mb? That's like 1 video. LOL
Because it is a kaspersky company which is one of the most stingy company.

Aforementioned, both are good and worth paying for. If your actual wallet only allows you to pay for one, i'd pay for a good, reliable, fast VPN, and use a free good alternative for antivirus software like Avast tweaked for maximum security.

I picked VPN. I also combine that with an anti-exe like Appguard and Voodooshield and a firewall and my router security set to max. Also with my setup plus Shadow Defender, nothing can get by.

The untold reason people actually want VPN would be:
more privacy (hide your IP from certain organizations or people)
access content which ISPs like to block (you could use free VPN for that but than you lose privacy)
The told reason people actually want VPN would be:
access internal networks externally (in some cases. Mainly for company use)
encryption
AV's job on the other hand is to stop virus before the patch comes out.
If your system is up to date and still supported by the vendor you are most likely not in need of antivirus. Just trust bare minimum of the websites.

Both protonVPN and Windscribe VPN separate their free users into specific "free" servers, and therefore their IP addresses are more likely to be blacklisted as compared to other paid servers. This doesn't really affect your privacy but you'll definitely run into some issues in the long runYou mean you cannot trust free Windscribe VPN and free ProtonVPN?

I would rather spend my money on a beer. Certainly not an AV since I use WD w/CF. But a decent VPN... I would/do pay for, yet I'd rather have that beer instead.

Hello, do not forget that Opera comes with unlimited VPN and that with some complement like WebRTC Leak Prevent, it would be a very good option, free. Greetings, friends.

Privacy is a big issue with opera as a whole. Other than that they are great.
It falls into the category of "If you are not paying you are the product".

Because many of us use a combo of both, not many seasoned members here will forsake a VPN or Security software for the other.
It's like asking what leg I want cut off, left or right ? ... I say keep both.
The "Either Or" option is not a healthy one. For example I run Security software "and" AirVPN.
I bet more would vote if the options were a little more realistic
