I use ProtonVPN mainly for reading & browsing on my iPad at the gym or McDonald's or airport. It adds a layer of protection, particularly in a public place where they explicitly say your connection is not private. Probably it's not totally secure either, since nothing in this world is totally so, but Proton is reputable and reliable, along with Nord and a handful of others, so all I can do is hope for the best and probably avoid connecting to my bank and other sensitive uses. As for teens using free VPN's, this just sounds very sketchy and I wonder if there should be a required course in approximately 9th grade high school teaching people safe internet use, kind of like driver's ed or home economics... necessary basic knowledge in this day and age.
