I'm not sure a VPN provides much utility when you're already punching your (billing|shipping) address and CC number into a website - that is, unless you're using a drop site for your packages, which definitely will make you look like someone who has stolen CC digits and is trying to cash in on them.
- neither_color 5y agoWell, to give one use case example, when I'm traveling I want to access websites from a US IP address so that l18n settings on websites don't serve me in another language or metric units by default. That's one way I use VPNs that have nothing to do with trying to hide from the NSA or whatever people think they're doing.
