You NEVER needed a VPN.


Your Wi-Fi in your local network is encrypted. Almost every internet connection you make uses httpS: which means it is encrypted. unsolicited connection attempts FROM the Internet are discarded by your Router.


Users who post here after installing a VPN are usually asking why their Internet is so slow and why their Mac crashes so often.
