1. Security on a public wifi.
2. Playing games on the internet with creeps who will dig through IP logs for my location. Yes, they can fingerprint my device, but device is easier to change and safer than location info.
3. Tricking Netflix into thinking I'm in Australia so I can watch Rick & Morty.

My friends that play CoD or similar quite literally get attacked off the internet for winning rounds at least every single night they play more than an hour or so, it's that low of a bar of entry.
