    I'm thinking about using vpn but I don't know in practice what it is and how to use it. My knowledge about VPN is limited only to the fact that it changes my IP and I am "foreign" on the portal I go to and the ISP does not see where I enter (only sees that I use VPN). That's all I know. I'm right? And what I wrote I need. For what? To increase privacy (not anonymity), to visit websites / movies blocked for Poland, etc. Nothing more. And all this used rather sporadically (on request, not all the time). I have used the TOR browser so far. And that would be enough if it wasn't for the fact that I am a little bit sick, the speed is very low and the ping is high. There is no chance to watch the movie on yt in good quality, even in low still constant. And sometimes it's hard to hit an IP from the right country or an IP address that is not blocked. I read about VPN anyway and I think it would be a good option to invest in it. I just don't know what, how and with what. I want it to work reasonably efficiently (stably) and be faster than the track. That there would be no problem with the configuration and on / off on request. I don't even know how to use it. Is this a separate program? Browser plugin? Is this somehow set up on the computer in the control panel (new network)? I do not know what is the difference between some free VPNs which are many on the network and the paid ones. Prices also vary. You can hit the allegro for a few zlotys. And there are also for thick money. There's a free VPN in Opera but it's not stable either. Of course, I can choose a paid one, but not to be cosmically expensive because I will need it sporadically. And that it would be secure and not transfer me login data to some Chinese servers. It's nice as if he had a large selection of IPs from around the world, including Poland. And stability ...

    I don't use Chrome.
    And what is the difference between free and paid ones? Because you pay for something. I shoot that these free plug-ins or built-in VPNs in Opera work like a proxy. There are few servers to choose from, everything is overloaded. And they only work within the browser.

    Ok, I haven't trained what I have already done.
    I hesitate between PureVPN and NordVPN. Someone used?
