The obvious answer to this is - if you're paying for a VPN in hopes of avoiding the NSA then you're using the wrong technology.

But since the NSA apparently shares its findings with other agencies, then the same applies if you're using a VPN in hopes of avoiding any sort of government monitoring.

So a VPN is only useful to (possibly) help protect yourself from corporate spying.
