I was using free, unsecured public wifi, and struggling to connect to websites that werent local. I already knew that by using a VPN, I could keep secure online and still access the content I needed for my studies back in the UK. This knowledge I had gained from having an interest in my online security and privacy, and I knew that this knowledge was, and still is, very exclusive. Which is unfair when 40% of the world is online and mostly unaware that the Internet is restricted simply because of where you are.
