What are the benefits of utilizing a VPN on the MacBook Pro?

A VPN is only needed to create a point-to-point secure tunnel to a remote network such as a company, school, or other network. Public VPNs provide no security and expose your data to the VPN provider.

Users in some countries with restricted Internet access sometimes use VPNs to bypass government regulations when accessing restricted data. This is not secure and in some countries it is illegal.
