Should I use a VPN on my phone?

While not everyone wants or needs to use a VPN if you do there’s no reason not to use it with your phone. You won’t notice a proper VPN app when it’s running unless you look for it. Google themselves use a VPN for Project Fi users who connect to public Wi-Fi hotspots.

What is VPN and why do I need it?
