Yes, something similar I said in the original post:

    If it is OK for you, that your ISP, websites, companies are to 99% (as always, there is no 100% in (IT) security and privacy) blocked from viewing what are you really doing or knowing who you really are (or let's say, see it more or less obfuscated), then it's fine. If you use a VPN to watch geo-restricted content, then it's perfectly fine. If you're using a VPN to do online banking securely from an open hotspot, it's really essential.
