I use a VPN periodically to:
  • Watch Netflix from different countries
  • Look at how my employer's website appears and functions from different countries as a part of my job in marketing.
  • Use some of my Bitcoin and Crypto wallets (I live in NYC and many crypto apps are IP blocked in NY due to the BitLicense).
  • Trade and/or research certain crypto platforms that IP block US crypto users
  • Use swap services that ban US crypto users
  • When I am using public Wifi
The browser extension is the ultimate non-techie, intuitive, and user friendly way to turn on a VPN.
Great writeup, thanks for the input!
