VPNs are fantastic for streamers, for example, who want to have access to a whole world of shows and films, or want to watch a sporting event somewhere you ordinarily can't. You may want to use them to help keep your online life completely anonymous from prying eyes of your ISP (handy for keen torrenters) or even your government.īut because the best VPNs also let you change your IP address to one in a completely different city or country, these services have taken on a much wider use. For many, getting a VPN service will be all about privacy.
