Why now's the time to finally take the VPN plunge

A good virtual private network (VPN) isn't as complicated as it used to be, but it's still a pretty big step for a "regular" user to take. Still, I decided it's time to get my family used to VPNs, because their data may depend on it.

During the past year, I've been slowly moving my family to more secure options for their phones and computers. Password managers — to promote the use of longer and stronger passwords — were the first step. Then we all moved to more secure messaging.

Now it's time for the big one, the one I'd been dreading: VPNs.

I've been using VPNs for years. Almost exclusively for work, but I was plenty familiar with the principle. While I'm certainly no expert in networking, I wasn't looking forward to trying to explain all of this to my wife and kids. And it's still a work in progress.
