I've had lots students who would use the Opera VPN or one of the "free" anti-virus providers VPNs because they got sold (by adds or dumb friends) that it would be safer. You seriously over-estimate the "tech-savviness" of the average student and that really is part of the issue I'm pointing out here.

They grew up with tablets and smart phones, but outside the common apps, they aren't any more tech-savvy than anybody else. Source: I work in tech for higher ed.
