Since I've lived in Asia, specifically Thailand/Korea/China, I've had to get around internet censorship in one form or another (especially in China) to surf blocked sites and social networks.
Thus, the original reason I began using VPNs was mainly to get access to sites I couldn't otherwise access.
I've heard, however, that VPNs also provide some level of security as well.
Is anyone using VPNs specifically for security reasons?
VPNs definitely slow my computer speed down but if it'll help protect against hackers and improve privacy then it's worth it IMO.
How do VPNs keep you safe or protected?
How do they NOT keep you safe or protected?
