There is no compelling reason for most people to use a VPN at home.

If you live in a repressive regime that doesn't allow you access to parts of the internet, perhaps you would want to use one. If you're using hotel / coffeeshop wifi, that would be another good use case.

Do you know which are known VPN services available for personal use ?
StrongVPN, Mullvad, hmaproxy, etc... Even Tor provides sort of the same thing.

But it really depends on use case. Why do you need a VPN -- until you answer that question, you can't really make an informed decision on which vpn you need.
