Do you use a VPN?

Does anyone here use a VPN for your internet browsing purposes? For me, one of the barriers to using a VPN at first was that I was afraid of the loss of internet speed that I initially seemed to get. However, after some setting tweaks, it doesn't seem to actually have been significant enough for me to even notice a difference in anything I do. I do also use my VPN for use on my Amazon Firestick because of an IPTV app that I've got going (because I need me some films) but sometimes I use it to get around geo-filters because they are something I really hate. What's the actual point? 

Anyway, do you lot use a VPN at all? If so, why do you use it? If not, what would make you consider using one?

Unless its something illegal then no
