Does anyone use VPN's ?

Do any of you all use VPN's (Virtual Private Networks)?  I have been hearing more and more about them but not sure if to jump on the bandwagon.  I spend a lot of time on public wi-fi (doctors offices, hospitals, motels, fast food establishments) and I certainly do not want to get hacked!

Found a website that compares some top VPN's and they use terms that I have never heard before like Unlimited P2P / Torrenting or Torrent Anonymously. Guess I need to do some more research. https://www.vpnmentor.com/best-vpn-in-usa/?tm=1&keyword=best%20vpn%20software&geo=9028337&device=&keyword=best%20vpn%20software&campaignID=1337988682&matchtype=e&adg

My ISP is Spectrum and they provide their users with free McAfee Anti-virus protection but lately have been pushing another feature which name escapes me at the moment McAfee Safe Connect as well as TunnelBear Secure VPN service.  When did using the Internet get so complicated?

Since it is morning can not wish you a good night and Terlingua Dreams.  So have a great day instead!
