VPN's, do you really need them?

VPN's are tagged as "essential" in today's day and age. This begs the question, do you really need a VPN. A V.P.N is a virtual private network, and you have probably heard about a YouTuber endorsing a brand like Nord VPN, or surf shark. They advertise features such as switching countries to watch different content that isn't available in yours, and internet security. Do they really work, and do you need them? According to us.norton.com*, the answer depends on your use case. If you are thinking of getting a VPN for home use, it could be useless unless and until you want to hide it from your internet service provider. For general use though, a VPN could be useful to secure your privacy and security on public wifi.

If you choose to go ahead with a VPN, please do make sure it is secure; here is an article I recommend reading:

Furthermore, if you choose to get a VPN, you can look at trusted tech companies and select their service for the legitimacy they offer.

*us.norton.com is a security website which also has a VPN as a service.
