Well, Gabe. I have to disagree. Most people use a VPN, for what they are designed for. Either:
Protect their devices in public WiFi situations.
Use it as part of work. Which is required for telecommuting
Sure, I have shared stuff here - via articles. And they tell you how to use a VPN and TOR, to view the Deep Web and even the Dark Web. And a nerd like me, might be curious. But I can neither confirm nor deny, whether I ever used TOR, or visited the Deep Web, Dark Web or the Deep blue Sea. Remember that the Dark Net, is only about 4%, of the Deep Web.
As far as the logs go. If a VPN company says they don’t keep logs - but do. And nerds and geeks, later find out they do. Guess what? They just committed business suicide.
And VPNs are easy to set up and use. Just download software and turn a button on or off. It automatically connects to the nearest server. or you can pick a server, from a list of recommended ones.
And what do the vast majority of folks, doing illegal activities - do? Probably streaming stuff like Netflix.
And if folks don’t like the government spying on them…or big business collecting data on them…and selling it to other, interested business parties - guess what?? I’ll tell friends, family and those on social media and forums, all about VPNs.
