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.
