IVPN created an awesome website called doineedavpn.com where they honestly and objectively answer that question. It’s one of the reasons why I like IVPN as a VPN provider, they are honest and don’t hide anything from their customers. Also their apps are open source and they support anonymous signup.
Another good use for VPN is to counter dynamic pricing. My wife visited a website some time ago to request the price for a ticket. When she visited the website a second time the price had increased considerably. However when visiting the price with VPN it was the original price again. It saved her a lot of money.
You can also get around this by using a non-airline owned travel metasearch engine like Kayak.
Clearly whoever wrote this has not tried torrenting popular content 🤨
Just use any old proxy either paid for in cash in the mail, or in a country that absolutely won’t cooperate with yours legally when you need it.
Your VPN will absolutely fold under the slightest legal pressure.
Some of them don’t even log the data required to cooperate with requests. Mullvad is one.
I know exactly how litigious Funimation is. I absolutely need a VPN. :D
