[QUOTE="Orchid, post: 1022899, member: 98800"] MalwareTips Community, I am curious. I have seen many threads in this forum discussing VPN software updates, what VPN software you recommend, etc. However, articles and YouTube videos discuss why a VPN is unnecessary or the dangers of using a VPN. From my research, I see most people use a VPN for privacy, to bypass Geo-fencing, bypass censorship, and so on. Yet, new features have been developed on the web to conquer this (HTTPS, DNS-over-HTTPS) or other software such as the: Tor Browser. So why do you still use a VPN?
