Virtual Privacy Networks [View all]

This discussion thread was locked by steve2470 (a host of the Computer Help and Support group).

Can someone explain the pros and cons?
There are services available for a charge.like this one:
https://www.expressvpn.com/

What determines the need to use these?
Thanks
