Surprised some people are so unaware of their uses and think they are only for watching dodgy sites. Apart from enabling you watch region restricted stuff and keeping your browsing details private which cuts down on the junk emails and phone calls you can be bombarded with they have another important use. If you are out and about using public WiFi you are susceptible to snoopers getting your details. You don't know the WiFi hot spot you have connected to is genuine either.
