In 2023, the biggest justification for not using a virtual private network (VPN) in the United States was the lack of a personal need for one, highlighted by over half of respondents. Cost, which was mentioned by 27 percent of respondents, also remained a top barrier to adopting personal VPNs, despite numerous free VPN options. VPNs allow users to establish secure connections between their devices and the internet by encrypting the data. For this reason, VPNs are used both in a private and professional context.
