Not the magic bullet people think they are. Oh, and you can’t turn it off, so you’ll have to take the loss in network speed on absolutely everything. And better know how to configure each device so it doesn’t go ahead and check leak your IP anyways, which also restricts choice of devices you use. Cause remember, if any device on your network ever connects to the net without the VPN, then your anonymity just went out the window.
I agree it’s a powerful tool! I was specifically responding to “problem solved” in the previous comment. My reply was in no way meant as a general review of VPNs.

No one thinks VPNs are “magic bullets”. I don’t know why this gets repeated ad nauseum.
True but it’s not that bad.
Just choose a good provider. You don’t need to configure anything.
That’s what kill switches are for.
