As someone who is unlucky enough to live in Russia, VPN is now more or less a necessity to access information around Putin's internet censorship.
However, while using it I've found some unlikely virtues of using VPN:
- I'm never offered ads based on my location
- Services like Google are not suspicious of your logins and don't bother you with additional 2fa measures. Previously it could be a real pain if you are abroad without your regular phone service and Google really wants you to enter that code it sent you over SMS.
