Why do you use a VPN?

Hello guys, been using a VPN now for a few months. I use it so when I travel so I can access Iplayer/Netflix. Also I use it as with work i'm constantly at hotels so I just feel more comfortable connecting through a VPN. So just wondering what you guys use a VPN for?

1) Work one for working remotely
2) Home one for masking my IP on Kodi!

Access to US Netflix, getting around censorships, protecting myself when I need to use public networks (Starbucks, etc)

What VPN's do you guys use? Currently using PIA pretty decent. No caps and cheap as chips!

NordVPN.

Work, Netflix, public wifi. I use expressVPN as it works best for netflix I've found.

I still have a subscription for CyberGhost. Very good. I use it to access some websites that are blocked in UK. I cannot even watch John Oliver for some reason oO. Also some torrenting but very rarely because my internet sucks. It's like I'm back in dial-up age.

I also used EarthVPN in the past. Not that expensive and very good and stable.

Using PIA here, very good speeds and a mixture of devices for 30 notes a year it's very good.

Same reasons as a few others. Privacy and making it look like I'm based in a different location etc.

PureVPN and I used to use PIA. But got offered lifetime PureVPN for buttons. I like them both now PureVPN is set up right.

I have an SSH tunnel to a VPS that I use if travelling, etc.
