   My original premise was that some people may benefit from a VPN and some   
   people don't (usually) need that. I wasn't trying to rebut your point   
   that all VPNs do encryption.   
      
   I don't really think 'our' remarks in the same thread were at 'odds' w/   
   each other.   
      
   My 'main' argument is that /it seems/ that 'we' are led to believe that   
   we all need a VPN. I disagree w/ that argument. I don't disagree that   
   VPNs and other strategies serve a VERY useful purpose.   
      
   Just not for me; and not for a lot of the people who are paying for   
   those services. Or NOT paying while using free.   
      
   I'm a big advocate for learning about privacy methods and its strengths   
   and 'weaknesses' or disadvantages.   
      
   If someone wants to use a VPN, that's 'fine with me' - whether they   
   benefit from it or not.
