   Some (types of, situations of, uses of) security is good or very good or   
   very necessary.   
      
   Some (etc) security is an unnecessary and inconvenient burden.   
      
   People should use the good and avoid the bad.   
      
   Understanding what is 'going on' and what does or does not need to be   
   done about it is what being informed is all about.   
      
   So, the people who should be using VPNs or some other alternative,   
   should be, and the people who 'shouldn't' (don't need to) shouldn't.   
      
   A simplification might be, it depends on what you are doing and who/what   
   your adversaries are (about that).   
      
   Just because something is 'about security' doesn't mean one should be   
   'doing it'; as in 'security good; insecurity bad'.
