Whoa, so I just set up a VPN on my Windows 11 PC for the first time and I’m honestly kind of amazed at how easy it was. I always thought I’d need to be super techy, but it was just a couple of clicks with the built-in Windows settings and then using a VPN provider’s app.
Does anyone here use the built-in Windows VPN feature? Are there legit reasons to pick that over the standalone VPN apps from providers (like Nord, ExpressVPN, Proton, etc)? Is it any more secure, or is it just a barebones way to connect?
Also, what do you guys use VPNs for mostly? Just curious if there are cool extra benefits or uses I should know about. Still new to all this!
