Hi all,
With so many changes in internet privacy laws and browser security features lately, I'm wondering how useful VPNs still are today.
Some say they’re essential for privacy and accessing content, while others argue modern encryption and secure DNS make them less necessary for most users.
I’d like to hear what you think:
- Do you still use a VPN regularly?
- Which use cases do you think VPNs are best for now (e.g., streaming, security, remote work)?
- Are there any good free or affordable VPN services you’d recommend?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Best VPN for Public Wi-Fi Security. This is still the primary use case. Even with HTTPS being ubiquitous, VPNs encrypt all of your traffic from your device to the VPN server, protecting against snooping and potential attacks on unsecured public networks (coffee shops, airports, google doodle baseball, hotels).
