Think public networks, airport/hotel wifi, public cafe wifi..would you trust using them ? That's where a VPN comes in..

Want to watch a streaming tv series but it's not available in your region, a VPN can help..

In countries like China where most things are blocked, how do you access say, Youtube ? A VPN..

And the lists goes on..

A VPN used to be a thing that links two or more networks together..oh how much it has grown..

I use it all the time when I am on a public network..simply because I trust my own network more..

...

the point of SSL is that you don't need to trust the underlying network, for either confidentiality or endpoint authentication.

circumventing censorship and region blocking are definitely good points though!
