Will I Get in Trouble for Using a VPN?

Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is generally considered safe and legal, unless you live in a country where they are banned or restricted. In the United States and other countries where VPNs are allowed, you could be prosecuted for any illegal activity you carry out while using a VPN. However, in authoritarian states with strict Internet censorship, VPNs are illegal and their use is restricted. In some cases, VPN connections can even be completely blocked.
