VPNs are extremely popular these days, lots of people use them while browsing the internet. I've only used Proton's free VPN in the past but I honestly don't use a VPN that often. I probably should start using one though. Anyways do you currently use a VPN and if so which one do you use?

No, I don't because I'm not wanting to pay for one. Maybe if things start getting blocked in my region.

I use Nord VPN but only on one or two devices.

Never seen the purpose so I haven't.

If you ever end up paying for one, I'd suggest Mullvad, iVPN, or Windscribe.

VPNs are useful, but I think they're advertised as doing a lot more than they actually do. They can help protect your connection and hide your IP address from websites, but cookies, browser fingerprinting and logged-in accounts can still identify you. Definitely not a complete privacy solution.
