It creates a secure, encrypted tunnel for traffic whenever you head online. So if you're using streaming services like Netflix, Disney+ or Amazon Prime then a VPN is essential as some place geographical restrictions on content, so shows that are available in one country like the US may not be available to watch in the UK. And some streaming services, like HBO Max, Paramount+ and more, are not available to access in the UK at all.
But with a VPN you can manually tweak your IP address so if you want to access HBO Max you can by changing your IP and making it appear as though you're on holiday in the US. It also means that logging on to apps like Netflix in another country on a VPN will allow you to watch programmes available in that country too.
