I do have one concern about vpns, apart from the privacy. I see a lot of advertsing that appears to imply a VPN is the only security you need. It is not. While it is useful for appearing to be in different countries, and the encryption can reduce snooping, a VPN is not a good substitute for good security software because it won't stop that dodgy link you just clicked installing malware, and it won't stop that malware working.
In fairness, if you need to use client software to access the VPN, that client software may well offer extra security facilities, but most don't.
