@Sheer masking your country and encryption.

[c=#666666]@Dolimyte What does that do for you?[/c]

@Sheer I do all my banking over VPN to prevent data theft. You can also appear to be in a different country to access region locked content. Most people use it for Netflix. I'm in Canada, so there is a ton of American content that is normally blocked for me.

[c=#666666]@Dolimyte Could you actually do most of this with a Tor browser, so it's mostly for comfort? I personally wouldn't want to pay money for keeping my shit private tbh...[/c]

@Sheer you can't do torrents securely over tor. I'm not sure if you can do streaming Netflix ect.

[c=#666666]@Dolimyte If you torrent, why netflix though?[/c]

@Sheer better quality video?

@Sheer Yeah I have Tor browser as back up in case I find the odd thing here and there that might have somekind of regional block or whatever. It is quite slow though but granted it's very very rare I've actually ever needed to use it.

@Sheer ease of use and convenience. I'm not the only one watching stuff.
