There is no one right answer. We all know what VPNs do and don’t and can do and can’t - so, the answer to such a question is always that it depends on what you’re trying to achieve and what your use case and needs are.

This is the right answer.

I think that may as well be the final word on the debate on if VPNs are really needed. I also feel the question itself is incomplete because it does not account for the nuances for and against VPNs and thus leads to debates.

I agree. Kind of outlined in the top of the post.

Of course threat model according depending on your situation, not mine.

This might has been more geared toward me (kind of trying to do both), so I should have labeled this advice rather than discussion.

Edit: just changed it.
