VPNs

Going to double post here, the OT board probably gets less traffic.

A VPN: Should I be using one? How much protection of data to they really provide?

My iPhone alerted me to a password data breach, so on a bunch of sites I needed to change my login credentials. Would a VPN offer any protection from this happening again?

I don’t understand anything above basic technology.

A VPN would not have prevented your password from being stolen from a website if that site was hacked. A VPN will provide a secure connection between you and the site you’re visiting. Part of that is by disguising your IP address. A VPN makes a private browsing experience.

Data breaches at websites are not something you have any control over. Your privacy in web browsing is.
