Who uses a VPN on here

Thats what I want to know...reading about it it seems a lot of people are using them these days.
So are there any benefits to using one?...or is it just to hide your dodgey torrent downloads etc etc
 
I literally yesterday decided to sign up for a year with nordvpn, they had a special offer $36

I have never used a vpn before, but the internet is becoming very authoritarian and isps are being forced to censor and with new snoopers charter coming into affect you can kiss goodbye net neutrality.

regarding people asking why. Its not if you have something to hide. Its a matter of principle. If you were at work all day and someone entered your house looking through your stuff. "my data is my data" and no one should have access to it.

The benefits of it
+ browse anon
+ access to service such as hulu, pandora that you would not have access to otherwise
+ anon p2p
+ good for when you are connecting to public wifi, keep you safe from man in middle attacks
+ dns encryption

some cool sites about privacy,encryption, net neutrality
