And if you use one, are you happy with it?

I'm trying to get more into privacy and security and VPN is currently a struggle for me (and it seems also for some people in my social circle). It's mostly cost, effectiveness, but also connection issues (not being able to connect to servers, not reaching websites, sometimes slower speed.

Very important, and becoming more important by the day as more and more regions agegate the internet. You need to change regions so you can access sites without guaranteed identity theft.

If you don't use one, it's fairly trivial to link your activity across the internet, as well as trace any internet traffic back to you, personally.

Connectivity is certainly a problem. For the most part, if they block my access, then I consider them not worth visiting.
