   VPN providers are basically needed for piracy, and for censorship circumvention in some countries. That’s it.

     @inex @inyanblood almost none of VPN providers actually sell "virtual private network"

     @inyanblood also, secure tunnelling for internal services...

     But that's not what VPN providers sale, except for companies like Tailscale
