I’ve been using one but I’m not sure what benefits I’m getting from it. I feel like the only thing happening is I’m adding a little bit of latency to all my requests for no reason.

    The benefits of the nowadays VPNs are mainly privacy and piracy related.

    Piracy is actually not the reason to use a VPN, pirates use a VPN to be anonyme and not to pirate content.

    Similar as you would not say a hammer is a tool that can be used to hit something and not a hammer is used by construction wormers and burglars.
