The fact that my VPN traffic is encrypted is just a bonus side effect. What I actually use it for goes way beyond accessing some HTTP/HTTPS based web sites. On the other hand. The consumer-grade VPN industry that has popped up to cash in on the hype is totally silly. Especially since many of them are owned by companies that are a conflict of interest. But do not lump ALL VPNs as useless just because there is one common use case that is superfluous!
