Hear, hear.

Having tried VPNs a few times, usually after reading articles about how 'if you don't do anything else, you must use a VPN', I've always found that they have added no apparent (or real) value. If anything they just seem to get in the way.
I have noticed, though, that VPN service providers always mention that you can use them to get around geographic/regional restrictions on streaming services' content. Sometimes I suspect that this might be a bigger market than security. (Although I'm yet to be convinced there is any value in that for me personally.)
