It is not about illegal. It is more of “under the radar”.
Say, you want to watch a video on youtube but it is geolocked? Start your VPN and BAM! It is not locked anymore.
Want to tip your toes in selfhosting and Arr stack but government is grabbing torrent users by the balls? VPN will cover your back.
Do not like your ISP to log your traffic to sell to marketers? Make them lose their minds not knowing what you do by routing traffic through VPN.
Hate ads on Youtube? Change to Mongolia and you wont have ads on youtube anymore (uBO is actually better for that).
Government wants your ID to visit adult content sites? VPN is on the case!
Also, as a side effect you are less likely to get hacked if you use VPN since all your activity comes from an IP address that is not associated with your device.
