I only use free VPN extensions or apps and I fully aware of the limitation of this. I use shabby ones, which don’t protect and probably sell my data. It slow and I can’t have only a few location.
But I can’t get around the idea that people can pay for a service to refuse to pay to a service. Please help me understand.
VPN’s give people access to foreign nations without location blocking, where there is no way to get their content otherwise.
VPN’s allow pirates to download torrented media, without advertisements, to be enjoyed offline, which streaming doesn’t always do.
VPN’s are useful in keeping the ISP’s out of your business from snooping on all your websites that you visit, and all the traffic coming and going from your PC.

A VPN isn’t a miracle cure-all. You are just transferring all your traffic from your local ISP to another. Usually the new one is by choice, so there is a lot more competition and thus more likely a better service provided.

Just for clearity, its not the VPN that’s enables this. /Some/ VPNs allow for this, and you have to do your due diligence or else you could just be handing all your data straight into a honeypot. VPN providers are rife with paid shills and bad actors.
Not picking on you specifically, but I’d hate to see a fresh recruit find some rando VPN from a youtube ad and think they’re in international waters when they’re really standing on dry land.

Ad Blocking is cyber security.
Anyone not using a paid VPN service is insane.
Hope that answers your question.
